Unspoken

Forgive me for being selfish.
Forgive me for not thinking of you first.
Forgive me for the times I didn't speak
because I was afraid of what you would think.
Forgive me for the times I spoke
when I should have listened quietly.
Forgive me for not seeing things
from your point of view.
Forgive me for not waking up each morning
and loving you like the first day I knew you.
Forgive me for taking you
and all you gave for granted.
Forgive me for loving myself
more than I loved you.
Forgive me for not saying this
when it still mattered.
