I'm Sorry


I’m Sorry

By Haley Matlock

 

I’m sorry.

            I’m sorry I wasn’t there.

            I’m sorry I wasn’t good enough.

            I’m sorry I let you down.

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry for what I did.

I’m sorry for even trying.

I’m sorry for looking your way.

I’m sorry.

            I’m sorry for loving you beautiful eyes.

            I’m sorry for loving your beautiful smile.

            I’m sorry for loving your beautiful laugh.

I’m sorry.

            I’m sorry that I’m not your type.

            I’m sorry that I’m not a guy.

            I’m sorry that I’m not perfect.

I’m sorry for everything that happened.

I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart.

But I’m not sorry for who I am.

And I’m not sorry for falling in love with you.
