It's only been less than a day.



It's only been less than a day.
I'm very sorry, is all that I can say.

I will give you time, I will give you the space that you need.
So you can see I'm filled with something other than greed.

I do miss you, that is just a fact.
If I'd only used a little more tact.

It never would have come to this.
I know that I have been remiss.

I wish I could take back what I've done.
And bring us back to where we begun.

To take this burden away from you.
That is what I would love to do.

But since I know that you won't let this go.
I will work on myself, so that it will show.
