The Untruths

I have made a lot of mistakes
And now they are all I think of
I didn't know you
That's the truth of it
That's the shame of it
Everything was untrue
What we thought about each other
All of it untrue
And I can't undo
The untruths
I can only stare at them
And weep

I can't turn back the clock
And only remember
The two little girls
That smile back
From happier days
The two little girls
That sang "Two Little Boys"
Together
For so much more came after that
So much ugliness
And pain
And misunderstanding
Oh God,
That we had just kept
The heart of a child
Where it's as simple
As "I'm sorry"
And as easy
As "I forgive you"
