Sorry

In your eyes I sank one fateful day,
And swiftly, oh so swiftly, love found its way.
We met quite often, time would quickly pass,
You even invited me into your space.

But that evening, stained with deep regret,
Brought tears to your eyes, I could clearly see.
I said it was lies, not to be believed,
Yet that evening’s charm was forever grieved.

I worried so much, heart in anguish tight,
Ready to bear whatever came my way.
You meant the world to me, no need to hide,
«Forgive me», I pleaded, «please, forgive me».

I wanted to talk — «Let’s discuss it now,
Try to understand, while we’re still on solid ground.
After all, we’re not strangers, you and I,
Without you, I’m lost, I can’t survive».

I worried, truly, with all my might,
Couldn’t find peace the whole day through.
«I was wrong, forgive me», I kept in sight,
«I never meant to lose you», hoping love was true.

That evening, I fell asleep, missed your call,
Gave you reason to doubt — forgive me, I didn’t mean to fall.
I really fell asleep, didn’t hear a sound at all,
Forgive me, it’s true, I really didn’t mean to stall.

Forgive me and trust — none are dearer than you,
I can’t find my place, restless and blue.
You mean the world to me, and I to you too,
My dear, forgive me — I can’t go on without you.

These thoughts consumed me in that very hour,
Worried for weeks, couldn’t let it go.
But then I realized — these stories, all their power,
Could fill an album or a novel, no doubt.

In your eyes I drowned once, it’s true,
And I fear to drown in them twice anew.
Let’s not begin this tale again, please,
It’s so easy for me without your gaze.
