I hurt you, and I'm sorry

That was never my intent

Just poor communication

You didn't know what I meant

I never meant to hurt you

You are very dear to me

Now I beg your forgiveness

And I hope that you can see

That your interpretation

Of my words was not my own

Though I explained them poorly

And brought this whole quarrel on

I ask you, please forgive me

For my heart hurts with your pain

And I will do my utmost

Never to hurt you again
