MISCONSTRUE

Well, I'm sorry.

I guess I was wrong.

I thought you were somebody else

somebody strong

or somebody brave.

I thought you'd be there for me

or let me be there for you

or at least know the words to "I'll be there."

But I was wrong.

I've learned.

I know my ABCs

and I see that you and I

weren't meant to be.

I recognize that now

and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding

misconstruing who you were.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Goodbye.
