i'm sorry

I'm sorry that I love you.
I'm sorry that I care.
I'm sorry that it breaks my heart,
When I find you standing there.

I'm sorry that I crack a joke,
Then check to see if you smile.
I'm sorry that you flatter my heart,
And make it stop, for a while.

I'm sorry that I want too much,
And that I want what I do not need.
I'm sorry that by loving you,
My need is encouraged by my greed.

And I have to say, I am sorry,
That I don't love you in the right way.
I'm sorry you only love me enough,
That you have the heart to stay.

I'm sorry that I dream of you
In the middle of the night.
And when the night grows darker still,
I'm sorry you are my light.

I'm sorry that I love your eyes.
I'm sorry I can't let that go.
I'm sorry that I love your laugh,
I'm sorry you don't even know.

But most of all, I'm sorry to say,
That all that I've said is true.
I'm sorry to say, that after all this,
I am sorry I still love you.
