He loved me in the midst of war
And counted change
Years didn’t mean anything

If it meant you’d wait for me
And even with that wrinkle
In your forehead
You’ve always believed I’d come back to you
Someday

I’m sorry to disappoint
But I cannot empathize
With the twinkle in your eye
And how your life altered every time
You looked at me

I’m sorry but I never asked for a garden
But you still bought me every
Single type of rose
And I never even gave you a flower
When God decided
That your time was up

I’m sorry but I thought
You could understand that time
Changes everything
And even when you used
Every crevice of your being
To rewind the clock
It just
Isn’t possible,
Old love

I’m sorry but
I
am not
Sorry
