I Wish I Could Turn Back Time


I'm sorry for the hurt I caused,

The pain that lingers, the wounds still raw.

I wish I could turn back time,

And make things right, fix what's not fine.

 

I know I hurt you, I caused you pain,

And I regret it all, again and again.

My words and actions were thoughtless, I know,

And I am sorry, more than I can show.

 

I hope you can forgive me, somehow,

And find it in your heart to let go now.

I promise to do better, to be kind and true,

To show you the love and respect you're due.

 

I'm sorry for my mistakes, my flaws,

And I promise to learn from them, and pause.

I hope one day we can start anew,

And build something beautiful, something true.
