An Apology
You followed me around in college
Like a kid who lost his favorite toy
And found it in the arms of another.
You asked to sit next to me, and sang George Benson.
Every note in tune. I said I hated it, it was cool to hate it that year
Even though secretly I loved the mush.
You wrote me letters adorned with details of your life
When we practically lived next door
My friends laughed as I read those out to them.
I laughed at you till you couldn't take it anymore
And I carried on without a second thought.
Carried on to the next thing, erasing memories
Till I reach this point where I can't find your name in my head.
Forgive me friend, for my harsh and callous work.
For my rudeness and cruelty that I hope you've forgotten.
In the virtual world where secrets are made to be hacked
Into this vacuum I shout "I'm sorry".
