My darling, it has been a while,
I miss you very much,
I miss the tenderness we shared,
I miss your loving touch.
I'm sorry that I walked away,
However, now I know,
That I should not have left your side …
It seems so long ago.
I searched and searched to no avail,
My quest has been in vain;
A hollow journey on my own,
With emptiness and pain.
I wished so many times that I
Could wander back to you,
But each day, it grew harder
To apologize a'new.
The distance seemed to widen,
As the days grew dark and long,
The time that passed just seemed to
Make it worse, to right my wrong.
I'm sorry for the hurt I've caused,
My guilt has been immense ...
I'd wish for your forgiveness,
But I have no good defense.
I'd ask you for a second chance,
But know I can't un-do,
The pain and anguish I have caused,
To both the boys and you.
So I will place this letter
In the box beside my bed,
Along with all the others,
Tucked away to you … un-read.
