The Mistake To Be Forgotten

The mistake to be forgotten
was the apple that fell far from the tree
it was an idea gone rotten

Now left to face things on my own
without your arms to hold me tight
throughout my thoughts you will always roam

Please forgive me for the pain I caused
do not think I am without my heart
the beats still there just slightly paused

The money that was spend I will repay
gifts did not go unnoticed, if you were unsure
you'll see by Christmas, if I may

My heart was brittle when I came to you
you held it carefully in your hands
I'm sorry I could not carry the favour through

never think I did not care, my tears that fall will show
I will always see you as the one I lost
but then again you reap the seeds you sow

you were never the mistake that was there
just the wrong timing, for you see
I will love you secretly forever more and that I declare.
