Hey, gorgeous, I come in peace,
With a humble heart, seeking release.
I come not to argue, nor to defend,
But to mend a bond I don't want to end.
I'm sorry if my words brought you pain,
If my intentions were lost in the rain.
Hurting you was never my desire,
You are a light I would never wish to expire.
Perhaps I spoke when I should have been still,
Perhaps my words climbed a difficult hill.
But beneath my flaws, beneath my pride,
There's a sincere heart with nothing to hide.
This silence between us weighs on my soul,
Like a broken melody missing its whole.
The laughter we shared now feels far away,
And I miss the warmth of our yesterday.
I wish I could gather each word that I said,
Replace every hurt with tenderness instead.
If only my heart could speak without sound,
You'd hear how much I wish to turn things around.
I ask not that you forget or pretend,
Nor that healing should happen before you're ready to mend.
I only ask that, when your heart feels free,
You leave a small window for us to see.
For peace is my purpose, not winning a fight,
And understanding is worth more than being right.
I'd rather swallow my pride and make things clear
Than let stubborn silence erase what we hold dear.
My one and only, gorgeous, please hear my plea,
There's no malice in the heart you once knew in me.
I'm sorry for the hurt, for the tears, for the pain,
And for every moment I've left you in the rain.
Take all the time that your heart may need,
I'll respect your space; I won't force or plead.
But if there's a chance for these hearts to renew,
I'll meet it with honesty, respect, and truth.
Until then, I send these words your way,
Hoping they'll soften what I cannot say.
I'm sorry, truly, from the depths of my heart
I hope this silence won't be where our story falls apart.
