I Would Understand Poem by Ray Hansell

I know right now you hate me
I don’t blame you a bit
I hope someday you’ll find a way
To forgive me for what I’ve done

I tried to be your friend
I did that fairly well
But when we started loving
That’s when we discovered hell

My intentions were not to hurt you
But hurt you I did
I know saying I’m sorry
Won’t erase the hurt and pain

If I knew of a way how
To take the pain from you
I’d do it in a heart beat
But I know there is no way

Maybe one day down the road
You’ll find room in your heart
To forgive me for all the things
I did to cause pain

But if you never forgive me
I would surely understand
Because I know what I did
Were not the actions of a loving man
