Spring 2014

[Intro – Gentle fingerpicked guitar] (March 28th, 2014…) (Soft breath, quiet hum) [Verse 1] I still remember the way the air felt, That day — March 28th, 2014. I didn’t say it out loud, But I knew in that moment — you were the one. Your smile hit me like certainty. Kind of terrifying. Kind of undeniable. [Verse 2] But later on, I didn’t show it right. I acted half-here — half-committed. Arguing instead of listening. Defending instead of understanding. Trying to win, instead of trying to love you. [Chorus – Minimal Instrumentation] I’m sorry. I failed as a partner. I didn’t show up the way you deserved. I wasn’t all-in when you were all-in. I fought when I should’ve reached for you. I pushed, I pulled, I confused. And you paid for my chaos. [Verse 3] Every quiet night now feels like a sentence. I see the moments I wasted. I see the softness I rejected. I see the times I chose ego over connection. You gave me warmth — and I handed back cold. [Bridge – Sparse Guitar, Whispered Vocals] You don’t forget the moment you realize Who someone is in your story. I knew it day one — March 28th, 2014 — And every day since. I just didn’t act like a man Who already knew. [Final Chorus – Emotional Build, Subtle Strings] So I’ll say it clean: I’m sorry for not being fully committed. I’m sorry for every useless argument. I’m sorry for failing you When I should’ve fought for “us.” And even now — through distance and silence — I know the truth hasn’t changed: I loved you from the very start. From that very first day. [Outro – Soft acoustic fade, distant reverb] March 28th, 2014… (Whispered) Still loving you.
