I loved you. I did.

As you sleep tonight,
I am sorry for the grief I put you through.
The unfortunate victim behind a lie and a touch of lips.
I only did what I thought was right only to come up empty handed.
I can do the “I never meant to…”
And it sounds nice but I won’t, because I meant to.
I never faked a smile.
I never faked a laugh.
I always spoke sincere.
But I was far away. My heart with you, but for someone else.
And for that I speak to you my remorse.
Never did I lie.
I slept silently, comfortable in the house you made for me.
To this day and for all of the rest of them I will keep praise of you.
I’m always quick to defend.
There’s no way you will ever know how much you changed me and in that respect I thank you for it. Life wouldn’t be the same.
You were too selfless as I was too selfish.
I loved you. I did.
