I'm Sorry

I held my mother’s hand as I crossed the street. I colored in my coloring book. I never spoke a word til spoken to. I never hurt a fly. I was the kind who wasn’t open to making mudpies. So I’m sorry that I asked you to marry me. I’m so sorry but the impulse was strong. I’m sorry that I asked you and I’m sorry that I kissed you. Now I know I was wrong. I saw your freckled face and I fell in love. Love looked a lot like Huckleberry Finn. Love had me running round in circles and singing it in the choir. I dreamed of raising baby turtles when we retire. So I’m sorry that I asked you to marry me. I’m so sorry but the impulse was strong. I’m sorry for the ring pop and I’m sorry that I chased you. Now I know I was wrong. Da da da da da da da da da da da. Da da da da da da. Da da da da da da da da da da da. I learned to count. I learned how to tie my shoe. I learned that love is better when it’s true. I try to make things picture perfect. I try not to make mistakes. Somehow my cheeks are always burning with one more heartbreak One more heartache. So I’m sorry that I asked you to marry me. I’m so sorry but the impulse was strong. I’m not sorry that I loved you. But I’m sorry that I told you. Now I know, now I know, now I know I was wrong. Da da da da da da da da da da da.
