I know I hurt you <br />When I did what I did. <br />But still without you <br />I don't think I can live. <br /> <br />You're the only one <br />That I have ever loved. <br />You were my shoulder to lean on <br />When things got rough. <br /> <br />I know it was stupid <br />And a huge mistake. <br />Will you please forgive me? <br />I'll do whatever it takes. <br /> <br />I cried myself to sleep at night <br />Knowing that I shouldn't. <br />I should have moved on <br />But, well, I just couldn't. <br /> <br />But when I cheated <br />Was when I realized <br />Just how much you meant to me <br />And still now and then <br />The tears stream from my eyes. <br /> <br />It's been a couple of months <br />And I still can't move on. <br />I just don't want to think <br />That we are really done. <br /> <br />I was so scared to tell you <br />I thought that I would lose you. <br />I highly doubted it <br />But it came true. <br /> <br />I thought that we could work things out <br />And build our trust back up. <br />But I think I really lost you <br />And to even think that is really tough. <br /> <br />I compare other guys to you <br />But none comes even close. <br />All they want to do is <br />Hit it, quit it, then boast. <br /> <br />You really were different <br />And that's what I liked. <br />You held me close <br />On cold, summer nights. <br /> <br />Even as I write this <br />Tears fall from my eyes. <br />I can't believe I did that to you <br />Then turned around and lied. <br /> <br />You were the most precious <br />Person in my life. <br />And maybe if I never did that <br />We'd still be doing alright.<br /><br />Ralph Acosta<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sorry-i-cheated-2/
