If I made you cry,
I am sorry.
Let me do the crying.

If I made you angry,
I am sorry.
I am angry at myself.

If you blame me,
I am sorry.
I blame myself.

If you hate me,
I am sorry.
I really hate myself.

If you think I meant it,
I am sorry.
I never meant this to happen.

If I hurt you,
made you cry,
made you angry;
if you blame me,
hate me,
please forgive me.
I cannot forgive myself.

If you love me,
I am not sorry.
I really love you too.
