She was precious like a flower.

She grew wild, wild, but innocent;

The perfect prayer in a desperate hour…

She was everything, beautiful, and different.

I smiled, but I was still angry at him for everything he had done to me. It was a painful smile, and no, a simple smile can't hurt. This wasn't a simple smile, it was very complex.

Stupid boy, you can't fence that in

Stupid boy, it's like holding back the wind.

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands,

And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans.

She never even knew she had a choice,

And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't

Stupid boy…

I remembered giving him everything, and he recognizes that.

I never knew I could leave whenever I wanted, but I remember leaving; I kept trying, but I kept failing because he told me I wasn't strong enough.

But now he's begging me to take him back. But I'm long gone, and to be honest, I don't know where I'm headed. I could be going anywhere. And a path to follow is impossible to find; I 'm only hiding from the past.

It's been so long, but I remember every feeling, the feelings that made me find who I really am. I spent so long ignoring them that I ended up here, alone and in pain. And I wouldn't change a thing, I'd rather be here than with him (unless he was going to be the guy I fell in love with, then I'd love to be with him).

I was stronger than I thought I was, but I never felt important. I prayed that I could find a place in this world, and I ended up here. But I'm not sure if that was meant to happen.

What made you think you could take a life and just push it, and push it around?

He thought he could control me. But I left. And he doesn't even know I'm here right now. I guess I wasn't that far gone. I didn't know I'd be back so soon.

I didn't expect this; I was in tears at this point.

I guess you built yourself up so high,

You had to take her and break her down.

I was broken down, he was the one who built me up in the first place, but I guess he forgot what he liked about me. He forgot that I was his world.

He used to call me beautiful; he used to tell me I could trust him. But that's the one thing I'll never do again.

I did everything to let him into my life, but that was when I felt alive. Like I wasn't dying inside. I didn't think I'd ever be like this.

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands.

You stole her every dream and you crushed her plans,

She never even knew she had a choice.

And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't.

You stupid boy!

You always had to be right.

Now you've lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive.

That was pretty much it. He did always have to be right; I don't know why he had to be like that.

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands.

You stole her every dream and you crushed her plans,

She never even knew she had a choice.

And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't.

You stupid boy!

I'm the same old, same old stupid boy.

It took a while for her to find out she could run,

But when she did… she was long gone, long gone.

I put the notebook down, I was in tears. "Will you forgive me?" Shane asked. I turned to look at him.

I hadn't seen him in months, and now the first thing he wants is for us to get back together."As long as you really mean it when you apologize…" I dragged out.

He got on his knees and took my hand.

"I am so sorry; I didn't know how much I was hurting you. And if I knew, I never would have done any of it. Please forgive me."

"I forgive you." I smiled, and he got up.

He gently stroked my face with his finger. I was loved again; I couldn't explain how much I missed this feeling.

He kissed me like I was all that mattered.

But maybe I was, well, for that 10 seconds, yes, I was counting. We pulled away, and suddenly, it felt like none of the pain happened, it was like they were brought back to how it used to be.

I guess it's never too late to apologize.

AN: Not my best work, but how'd you like it?
