Misunderstanding Miss Understanding

Fri, 04/28/2017 - 21:37 -- 1SP

After the things that we have been through, 
Never did I see that you choose to be alone; 
To not love another man for the things I did 
Is wrong, because your love is so very placid.

 

I know that I misunderstood, 
But you cannot dismiss men who are good. 

 

Now I am cognizant of the sacrifices you made, 
And it is far too late for us to build on knowing; 
You have good men now who always appreciate 
The love you can offer by the way they were glowing. 

 

I think that I had to be crazy, 
But there are men who worship their lady.

 

I was just misunderstanding you Miss Understanding, 
You cannot be that broken to what God is planning; 
Please do not do what I did to you to others too, 
Because I was misunderstanding Miss Understanding. 

 

Your heart is golden and your soul is priceless, 
I may have taken your smile for granted over mine, 
Because what you deserve is love at it nicest, 
So allow yourself to open up to someone who is kind. 

 

I see that I was not your equal, 
But not all the men in this world are evil. 

 

There is a good man outside your door of fate, 
All you have is unlock it and let him in from the rain; 
He is drenched like I had you, feeling the weight 
Of my lies, your tears, my cheating, and your pain. 

 

I hear that you have found someone better, 
But you have to get yourself back together. 

 

I was just misunderstanding you Miss Understanding, 
You cannot be that broken to what God is planning; 
Please do not do what I did to you to others too, 
Because I was misunderstanding Miss Understanding. 

 

I apologize for those harsh lies I told, 
Now go get that man who fills your soul.

As guys, we take things for granted and get sloppy
It's important that more guys take responsibility for their actions and more forward
There are great men and women, it comes down who is the right for who
