I'm Sorry

I’m sorry, really I am;
For being so sad today.
I just couldn’t help it –
I let my feelings run away.

I must confess; the pain –
It’s far too much for me.
I saw you smile again today;
Something I didn’t want to see.

The smile on your face;
It can only mean one thing.
It must mean you’re happy –
Happy without me.

Knowing that was painful.
A tear escaped my eye.
Just one – I assure you.
I know you hate to see me cry.

I don’t understand, though.
You’re hurting me so bad.
You say you’re protecting me –
All you’re doing is making me sad.

But, I’m sorry.
That’s why I was sad before.
I’m still sad; and very confused –
Despite all the hurt, I just want you more.
