it feels

as though

i have spent a

thousand years

away from

your arms

.

and now that

i've returned

'home' seems like

the strangest word

to describe this place

full of

memories

happiness

sorrow

regret

.

i cannot imagine

what to say to you

i think

and reconsider

my words

a hundred times over

.

i end up saying nothing

.

all i can do

is whisper

my apologies

for causing you pain

for being so selfish

for being the despicable person i have become

.

i am sorry

for everything

i've ever done
