Apologize

There are many reasons people apologize 

i say it often, mean it more "I'm sorry"

But there are few things I won't apologize for 

And one of them is being me 

Just like the one thing you won't apologize for, too

Is simply for being you. 

I'll always apologize when I hurt you or say something out the way

But I can't apologize for a simple bad day

I'll apologize for both our past

But I won't apologize for love that lasts or doesn't last. 

I can't apologize for the way that seasons change 

But I will apologize when I am acting strange

I can apologize for your or mine pain

But I won't apologize for changing and not staying the same 

I'll apologize when I'm no longer enough

When I don't always show love. 

I will apologize when I fight

When I keep you up at night 

I'll apologize for when I am unkind 

Or I become foolish and blind 

I'll always apologize if I let things get in the way of us 

But I will never apologize for this:

I'll never apologize the way my body craves yours 

The way I love your lips taste

The way my fingers always trace 

The things I love most about your face 

I'll never apologize for studying the way you move

For laying on your chest and hearing your heart as your chest rises with each breath

I'll never apologize the way I laugh when I'm with you

And the way I am in love with your smile, too 

I'll never apologize for how much I care 

Or for when I run my fingers and mess up your hair 

I'll never apologize for giving you everything and my all

Even if one day we do fall. 

I'll never apologize for how you drive me crazy 

I won't apologize for how I feel when you're with me. I won't apologize for wanting to go that extra step and mile 

To make you happy and see you smile

And finally no matter what I say and do

Never once will I apologize for loving you.
