Where I went wrong

It should have been good morning text.
What you wanted wasn't that complex.
You deserve the world and I was just damaging yours.
You wanted to see how a man should treat a woman and got ignored.
I said a lot of things I can't take back and I keep wrestling with what I can't take back.
The tongue is mightier than the sword and now we are off track.
I don't know how long it will take to undo the body of work that so long ago I began.
But I know I will piece it back together with a chance grain by grain like sand.
I know you want me to feel your pain.
And I know if you let me in there is nothing to gain.
You have seen better days than the rainy days I gave.
I deserve to chase you down the road I paved.
I see your tail lights fading fast and I'm running with too much to ask.
But I have to my heart is crying because of my past.
There is only one thing that will wipe my tears.
And that's you letting me hold your love next to mine but I know we're not there.
But let me unpack your love bag by bag.
I want to show you a better tomorrow with no looking back.
