Lingering Regrets

These memories now hurt me
Of the things I did which pained you
I did not care and too blind to see
The pain and your tears were true.

I was young and carefree to a fault
The world was mine to play and enjoy
Never thought that it struck like a bolt
I know I acted foolishly like a little boy.

Now I am a toddler no longer
Time has passed, changed for sure
Making me, I hope, a little bit wiser
Knowing now the feelings you endured.

I pray that I muster the courage
To face you with smile and humility
Be honest about that dark ugly page
And from my heart to say "I'm sorry."
