An apology

There's not been a friend like you in a while,
Who can hold hands and bring a smile,
Laughter comes naturally, when you are around,
Everything comes instinctively, real and sound.
I loved meeting you, when I did,
It's a memory I won't cease to cherish,
I loved every smile that I brought on your face,
It reminded me of a beautiful place,
Where I could be on my own, be glad,
No worries, no qualms, I was never sad...
You'd come and make everything an obsolete fad.

Now somewhere down the line I did wrong,
I went wrong, I committed crime,
It maybe too late to mend the deeds,
But I don't want to be too late to apologize.
So dear friend, I ask forgiveness,
For the times I wasn't there to help,
For the times, I was there and didn't help,
For the time, I did nothing to wipe the tears,
For the times, you just wanted me near...

I may not be able to set things right,
But I hope to keep you my friend, Elaine,
A few hang outs, maybe a game,
I apologise, once love, I won't do it again.

P.S: The name is fictional in this regard, it just came to my mind.
