apologies for something...

Apologies,  I  realized  so  late...
discovered  I  was  keeping  a  secret 
that  maybe  I'd  like  to  kiss  you
and  hold  you  for  awhile
on  a  bed  near  a  window
while  its  raining
and  wake  up  when  the  sun
comes  out

Apologies  for  not  speaking  -
for  playing  a  game  I  shouldn't
and  not  talking  to  you  when  I  should
instead  of  waiting  for  you
on  the  stairs  near  the  door
by  the  lane
while  you  smoked  a  cigarette
and  wait  to  say  goodnight...

Apologies  for  running  away,
flying  absent  to  some  foreign  place
listening  to  sounds  of  curious  patois
instead  of  staying  with  you
on  a  beach
resting  on  wet  rocks
hearing  your  voice
I've  almost  forgotten

Apologies  for  loving  another
for  confusion,  discombobulation,
perplexity,  mess,
wonderment  of  your  piercing  blue  eyes...
like  the  sea,  the  beach  we  left  behind  - 
but  my  true  love's  eyes  are  dark,  beautiful...
and  he  is  the  one  - 
so  apologies...   for  something...
