It’s time I wrote these words to you
Here in this open letter –

I’m sorry for the pain I caused;
I wish than I’d known better

And noticed you were suffering
And lonely, then, and sad;

I’m sorry for things I did.
And now, I wish I had

A way to make things right again,
And treat you like I should —

And wish I could have told you this
Before you left
For good
