For all the times

For all the times that people said

I failed or came up short:

I did my best and know what’s true

Yes it led me far astray from you

Set me away to swim in the blue 

Make me an enemy, what you have to do…

But I loved you.

And for all the times I said it to 

Myself, I’d hug you twice as much. 

If I could, then I would

To make up for the times

That I failed or came up short.
