An Apology
This is an apology for all the ways I have failed you as a friend, a secret, and an admirer.
For the times you hinted that you wished to be seen without a mask as you truly are and I was foolish and forgot to look.
For the times that I did see you and scared you when you realized that I loved what I saw.
This is an apology for that day when I broke your heart though I don't know if you even realized that I did.
For the moments where I made you believe that I am more when I am not.
When you thought that I could be something great, though I can barely be something good.
This is an apology for the sand between my toes that reminds me how far I've strayed from your side. An apology for the fact that I can't let you go, not yet, no matter how hard I try.
