Sometimes its hard to love yet hard to hold back when you need to.
I love the aplogetic yet understanding tone here, the flow was smooth, and the meaning was easy to grasp.

Simple yet effective, and a strong ending
xxxx

Though sad , I found this poem very romantic, reminding me of sharing laughter with a someone special. The details make it more personal and makes the theme feel real. I enjoyed reading this.

It was romantic, sad, and longing. Another great poem penned to perfection. I loved the simplicity of it, and yet a deeper meaning is just below the surface. Excellent

Umm...
Can you say Amazing?

Apologizing for everything & hoping one day that you are strong enough to be able to read it to the person. Never knowing caring was such a crime.

Incredible poem :)
5/5

The poem is fairly simple when it comes to interpretation. The poem has been dipped into a wave of woe, and further suspended by strings of bittersweet memories.

I apologize for the endless
good-nights I bid you. And for
all the photos I gathered just
to make you your own album;
something that highlights all the
special moments in your life.

^ The author here intends to apologize for the nights he/she had offered to the significant other. And make an album of all the pictures gathered over the span of time spent together, highlighting specific - cherished moments.

I apologize for running away
whenever you came back, but
it was just so hard for me. You
looked the same, but you were
never the same, you reminded me
of the old you, but he's already gone.

^ The author here apologizes for holding back, upon the return of his/her lover, for the trust could not be renewed. Even though the lover's appearance is the same, his/her nature makes the author uncomfortable. Here "he's gone" suggests that the character reference is from a female's point of view, thus the plot revolves around a female character. Moving on, she realizes that her lover's behavior has changed, and she somehow holds his initial impressions sacred, but the current version of him is merely a disturbance.

I apologize for refusing to let
go of the old memories I shared
with you, all the laughter we once
had still haunts me, oh how I miss
that. Maybe you never knew,
but I always looked up to you.

^ The author here, means to apologize for the memories she cannot let go off, and the joy embarked by each others company, in the past. Her lover never seemed to notice how she held him up above everyone and that she'd always be good to him.

I apologize for caring that much,
believe it or not but I know who you
are deep inside. You have a big heart
that's filled with emptiness. What
others gave you failed to fill the missing
parts in you, they just never understood.

^ Here the author apologizes, for caring immensely. She knows what he is underneath the skin, a gentle heart misguided. And that he turned to those who never understood him, even though he had always been transparent to the author, but he did not reach out for her.

I apologize for writing this, knowing
for sure that you'll never get to read
it. Perhaps a day will come when I will
be brave enough to stand in front of
you and read you this. But until that day
- I sincerely apologize.

^ The author apologizes for writing this particular, knowing that he will never get to read this, probably because he is not aware of it. But someday she wishes to break her patience and read it out to him, so he could realize that the author had always been there for him.

Hmm. . .upon reading this piece, it seems as though the author wants her lover to realize everything on his own. But she knows that it is far from happening, thus this piece goes out to him. Clever enough.

Very well written.

These words are so heartfelt yet sad, you have conveyed your message to this person beautifully. Very nice job :) Lostlove

I can see a lot of sadness in this poem which has come from love at one time or another

There is a hint of bitterness when I read it.

To apologize for loving and caring about someone- heartbreaking. Especially when by the looks of it you put everything into that relationship

A well written poem

Felt it to the very deep core inside of me

5/5
nomintion

OMG.. why didn't I notice this?
That was leaking.. dripping with sadness, torment, anguish, bewilderment. With every other verse, I felt totally attached to it! It's like totally related to your winning amazing piece... BEAUTIFUL! and this should win also.

Wow... this poem was so touching and heartbreaking... I love the title, it was perfect for this poem and fit it so well. This poem is so heartfelt, and sad... I love how each stanza begins with a new apology, and how you explain the missed memories and other thoughtful things. It was so sad and I could feel the emotions you expressed, and I could relate to many parts, especially about the fact that this person will never read the poem you wrote for them.

I looooooove this part:

"You
looked the same, but you were
never the same, you reminded me
of the old you, but he's already gone."
--- It's such a true statement! Some people make look the same, but they'll never be the same way we remember them as!
