Inevitable

Last night you held my heart in your hands and accidentally let it fall to the floor

But my heart has always been made of glass and so it shattered when you let go

Still I reached down to clean the mess, swept the floor, and tucked all of my shards away

Your voice was cold with a hint of apology

"I wish we met at a different time"

That's what they all say to me

I'm either too early or too late

And I wish that wasn't something I had to apologize for

I still do

I'm sorry
