Please Forgive Me

I'm so used to running away,
Of always getting hurt,
Because when things seem
Too good to be true
For me they always are.
And so I see it
Start to happen,
And I push you away,
Thinking I will be
Sparing myself heartache.
But in my fear of being hurt
I hurt you instead.
Doing that one thing
I swore to myself and you
I'd never do.
I try to push away,
Because I think I should,
That it's what's best,
That you just need some time
To work it all out first.
But then you beg me to stay,
And I know just how wrong I am.
All I can do now
Is beg for forgiveness
And promise to never do it again,
Knowing that neither of us
Will survive without the other.
