I raised my voice at you

You looked down as tears flowed down your face

I felt bad and tried to apologize

But you walked away.

I called you that night

But there was no reply

I kept thinking why were you crying

But nothing came to mind.

Days went by and we never talked

I called your mom and you were never home

What did i do so wrong to lose you

Then as I sat there thinking

It all had hit me

When I raised my voice at you

it reminded you of your childhood

Your dad yelling and arguing

You and your mom crying.

why didn't i think of that before

so i called again and you answered the phone

When I heard your voice I sat there and cried

you knew who had called

And all you said is hi....

I cleared my voice and dried my eyes

And all I said was "I apologize"

You burst out into tears

And say its all right.

We continue talking & I kept thinking

how do I make you happy?

So I asked the question and you replied....

Because even when you make mistakes

You always come back and apologize......
