Analysis of Don't be sorry
When I saw you the other day,
There were many things to say.
Perhaps due to memories
We share with no boundaries.
I wanted to say I'm sorry,
For no word from me so long.
But you implied time went along
With no protest and no worry...
Hoping that this time would come
And we'd give another try
To the joyful, pleasant time
That we spent together home.
Thank you for this reality
And the opportunity
To enjoy life with you again
without being sorry, then.
