I know every story—know the lines and the part
              How easily it is to capture such a vulnerable heart.
Seen all the movies, read the books and the poems
                            Anything about love was something I thought I should know.

I cried when I saw Romeo and Juliet die for the first time
               When the girl could finally call her crush “mine.”
I laughed but stared with envious eyes when they said “forever,”
                        Got butterflies when they rode off together.

Live in a world that I have created inside my mind
                   For the longest time, I was content. I was fine.
Here in this creation, soul mates are not rare
              Behind every corner you turn, there is someone that cares.

But the world is funny in the way it does not work the way you hope
                It turns your dreams around and sometimes leaves you alone.
And no matter how many movies I’ve watched, the studies done
                       Nothing has ever prepared me to find “the one.”

I admit to all my mistakes, my flaws, and regrets.
              The lies and the times I did forget.
I know I’m naïve, a child in mind and heart
                              So easily broken, yet just as easily cured, by the dark.

But I am pure when it comes to my words
                   I hold true to my beliefs.
And when I say I love you.
                             Forever is what I mean.

I still believe in happy endings—maybe if they aren’t for me
               I still believe in those three simple words and how they can set a person free.
I still believe in miracles, the good times that life throws our way
                          And I still find myself falling with every word you say.

I still believe in the magic of the holidays
              And still get just as excited on Christmas Eve.
I might not always believe in myself
                        But I have always believed in you.

I’ve seen all the movies—know all the lines
              But now it feels like I am quickly running out of time.
Nothing has prepared me to make such an apology
                   And all I want to say right now is…
                                                                      
                                                                 I’m sorry.
