Apologies in the Silence

In the silence, echoes of my past,

Words unspoken, shadows that I cast.

I'm sorry for the moments lost,

In the chaos where love's line was tossed.

I know I’ve been a fool, played my cards too cold,

Thought I was invincible, but I was far from bold.

Immature actions clouded the skies,

Now I see the truth through these tearful eyes.

You deserve the world, not this mess I made,

But I let my doubts drown the love we laid.

It took me far too long to find this voice,

Now I'm standing here, hoping for a choice.

I’m sorry for the moments when I let you down,

For the laughter that turned to silence, just look around.

Regret fills my heart, like a haunting melody,

In this symphony of sorrow, let me set you free.

You might wonder why I’m coming now,

Fear held me captive, but I’ll make it through somehow.

Just one last chance to say the words I hide,

Heart open wide, waiting for the tide.

We were fire and flames, now there’s ashes around,

Every joke, every laugh feels like it drowned.

If I could turn the clock back just a bit,

I’d cherish every moment, never let it split.

I know it might be hard to trust again,

But I promise I’ve changed; I’m no longer pretend.

Just a boy, learning how to be a man,

Seek your heart’s answer, can we try again?

I’m sorry for the moments when I let you down,

For the laughter that turned to silence, just look around.

Regret fills my heart, like a haunting melody,

In this symphony of sorrow, let me set you free.

So here’s my heart, wrapped in words unsaid,

I’ll be waiting for the day when hope spreads.

Each message a step, with intentions pure,

I’m sorry, my love, I swear I want more.
