Raising my Voice


I raised my voice at you You looked down as tears flowed down your face I felt bad and tried to apologize But you walked away. I called you that night But there was no reply I kept thinking why were you crying But nothing came to mind. Days went by and we never talked I called your mom and you were never home What did i do so wrong to lose you Then as I sat there thinking It all had hit me When I raised my voice at you it reminded you of your childhood Your dad yelling and arguing You and your mom crying. why didn't i think of that before so i called again and you answered the phone When I heard your voice I sat there and cried you knew who had called And all you said is hi.... I cleared my voice and dried my eyes And all I said was "I apologize" You burst out into tears And say its all right. We continue talking & I kept thinking how do I make you happy? So I asked the question and you replied.... Because even when you make mistakes You always come back and apologize......
