How could my heart be so presumptuous
assuming you believed the way I do
as if I had the right to expect truth
or depend on you having basic morals.
I was absurd to think love had rules
that friendship should be valued
what was in our hearts mattered, and
we didn't compromise our convictions.
Thinking love worth more than money
that being good to you having faith
patience, respect and understanding
was appreciated and somehow counted.
I can't believe how out of line I was.
And if that wasn't enough, when
your daughter filed the missing persons
report I was worried and really missed you.
How could I dare be concerned
You had been seeing someone else
I didn't deserve to know you were
with him and you didn't have to explain.
Imagine me wanting to know why,
thinking that the right thing to do
was at least talk to me and explain.
I was so dumb to think you might act like an adult.
Now in retrospect, even trying to
be your friend and forgive what happened
how could I not realize you had reasons
for having avoided even talking to me.
I should have known when you and your
new boyfriend broke in my house to
get your things when I told you after
I got off work I would let you in to get them.
Maybe someday you will forgive me
for expecting you to choose right
over wrong,
For loving you and believing
your heart was true,
that some things were worth taking a stand.
I'm sorry I assumed you had values
you wouldn't compromise,
can you ever forgive me?
I'm sorry I was such a fool
for believing
in you.
