my apology

I love you, my Jewel
I just want you to know
and I'm not going to say I'm sorry
for saying the things I've said
I'm not going to say I'm sorry
for wanting you to be happy
maybe I was too harsh
but I didn't know what else to do
I said the things I said
out of my love for you
I wish I could have said it
in a different way
I wish it didn't have to end this way
I've heard that sometimes
bitter pills are required for a cure
I wish that wasn't true
but we both know that it is
and now all I ask
is that you think about what I meant
and forgive the way I say
what needed to be said
