The Past



Things i should have never said,
For this i appologize.
Things i should have never done,
For this I've learned through my pride.

Yes theres stuff i wish i could change,
But for this i only have myself to blame.
Through my struggles i came out tall,
But to get there it took many a fall.

When just loving you was the key,
I dont see how i couldnt see.
You did it all you got me through,
For this i give all my past to you.
