To My Dearest Friend Leah Poem by Martin Greyford

If meeting me was the worst thing in your life,
I'm truly sorry, it was never my intention to cause you pain or regret.
My only hope was to bring you joy, support and warmth into your world, not to add to your struggles and not to be a burden if I fall in short of that.

If my presence brought you more pain than happiness, please know that it was never my heart's desire.
Life is unpredictable, no matter how much we care, sometimes things don't turn out as we hoped.
Sometimes despite our efforts, we end up hurting the very people we wanted to protect.

If I have ever been a source of hurt in your life.
I deeply regret it but please believe this, my feelings for you were always real.
I never wanted to be a chapter you wished you could erase.
I never wanted to be a scar instead of a beautiful memory.
All I can do now is offer my sincerest apologies,
And hope in time you can find it in your heart to forgive me

I only want the best for you, peace, healing and happiness and if there's anything I can do to make things upright, please let me know because no matter what, I will always care for you.

Yours truly
Martin Greyford.
