A Lover's Apology Poem by Christian Eliab Ratnam

It came upon a silent night,
The full moon shining bright,
When I remembered what I lost,
And recalculated it's cost.

The memory of our first kiss,
For a million I couldn't miss.
The words exchanged on the very first day,
No amount of money for it can pay.

The sweet smelling perfume you used to wear,
Just smelling it now causes my heart to tear.
Your elegant moves in our every dance,
Your lovely smile every time I gave you a glance.

Now I realize that my own folly,
Has caused my desperate melancholy,
And now I ask you to forgive me dear,
By just throwing yourself at me here.

And if my words have hurt you badly,
I beseech you now, accept my sorry.
Please my love, you know my heart,
You know I never intended to see us part.
