When Sorry Isnt Enough

I know I hurt you badly
I was hurting too

I never should have left
But what’s done is done

I would give anything to go back
To hold you tight 

To never let go
To tell you I love you once more

I thought I was doing the right thing
Even though it was completely wrong 

You got to experience what I never will
For that, I am grateful 

You got to be a parent
And now a grandparent

I never will
That emptiness is eternal

When we reconnected 
I was over the moon

Now I’m completely heartbroken 
But it’s not because of you

I did it to myself
Hoping you could forgive me 

If it painful to hear from me after 30 years
That wasn’t my intention 

I had to reach out to you 
Maybe that was selfish of me

My heart belongs to you 
My soul aches for you

But I get it
I understand 

Sometimes sorry isn’t enough 
And I have to live with that

I wish you peace
I won’t push anymore
