Summary: I decided to write it in the form of a villanelle (I think!)




I meant to call you yesterday
to try and tell you what went wrong.
It's not your fault I went away.

I know you wanted me to stay
but still I needed to be strong.
I should have called you yesterday.

I never quite knew what to say;
I only wanted to belong.
It's not your fault I walked away.

Perhaps someday I'll have my say;
I should have told you all along.
I meant to call you yesterday.

You never thought that I would stray -
try to forgive before too long.
I wish I'd called you yesterday;
It's not your fault I went away.
