I told you I

would

forever want to

ask your forgiveness.

 

Seemed typical of a man

sensing a weakness

he would seek

only her compassion.

 

I never had the chance

a full explanation

why I did love you

because your compassion …

 

held me together

when in your eyes I could

feel love

you had found my soul.

 

I cannot just let go

I want rather a slow

natural departure

even you might not know.
