This is a very old poem I made for my friends, a few months before I left my home country to live in a whole new one. I made a few edits here and there and added a few more lines so it's not exactly the original version. I apologize if it isn't good... it is after all a work in progress.
I’m Sorry
I’m sorry for not being perfect
No human being ever was and ever will be
It was only now I sat down and realized
How much our friendship really meant to me
I’m sorry if I won’t anymore be there
On the occasions that mean so much to you
The only way I can show you that I do care
Is by sending you emails or maybe a card or two
I’m sorry that I have to leave
Just as we had become so close
Entered your life just to go away and made you believe
That I’d always be by your side whenever you chose
I’m sorry but life just isn’t fair
That’s just the way it’s always been
Life can be full of such miseries
Miseries that pain within
I’m sorry for the times I’ve ignored you
And made you think you meant nothing to me
The truth is nothing can ever replace you
It just took me a few wrong turns to truly see
I’m sorry for ever making you feel sad
While still you always manage to brighten up my day
I’m sorry for the times when I got mad
Just because things didn’t turn out my way
I’m sorry for the tears I’ve caused
To fall from your own very eyes
I’m sorry for the friend you lost
But everyone once in a while says their goodbyes
I’m sorry for not spending time together
As often as we did in the past
It was because I though we’d be with each other forever
Though I knew our friendship would always last
I know it's too late for apologies
And it's too late for last goodbyes
But I promise to never forget you
Till the day I die.
