this is just to say -

i never told you
that my heart still beats for you
that i still smile when i think of you
that i’m sorry.

and i know-
if i could apologize for
all that i said,
and shouted,
and all that i hurt you,
i would -

i would, i would
a thousand times over –
remember that walk we took
in the park last summer?

do you?

you told me that
whenever we were apart,
i could gaze at that lovely sky
and know you
were thinking of me.

and now,
that sky stretches in front of
me –
and i wonder if you
are remembering, too.

the fights, the hurt.

this is just to say -

i am sorry, and -

i still love you.
