I'm Sorry

I'm sorry it took so long,
for me,
to let you know,
that it's you,
who's right for me.

I'm sorry it took too long,
for me,
to show just how much
I truly care
about you.

I'm sorry I waited until
I heard
the twigs snapping
underneath your feet.

I'm sorry but I must say
that staring at you
from behind even
feels somewhat great.

I'm sorry for the direction
this relationship now has taken.

I'm sorry that you're walking north
and that I'm forced to go south.

I'm sorry that I see no other way.
That I no longer see the same sun,
the same moon, the same sea.

I'm sorry that you and I,
now used to be "we".
