I try to be sweet;
I try to be sensitive,
but at the end of the day,
it only amounts to a try.

I'm sorry if I don't understand the hurt
and the anxiety and the pain
you're going through.

I'm sorry that I can't be
a good enough
knight in shining armour.

but I'm not sorry
for writing this —
for liking how your tears fall for me,
for wanting them to.

I'm not sorry for finding myself in this
after so, so long,
after wanting you to stay here,
( just stay )
after it hit me that I would never completely have your love
( even if you had everything
& anything I possessed )

there's only so much that
( being sweet & sensitive )
I can give you.
