Long Time — Pt. 2

by J'Wellsgriefforgivenesslove
I chose to run the streets like Tupac with his thugs, While you were waiting at home for my love. I disrespected you in more ways than I can count, Never apologizing for bringing different women into your house. No wonder you hate me, but your love ran deep, Understanding that I was walking while asleep. You gave me time to wake up. I saw the good I had before you finalized our breakup. Then I was arrested and hauled off to jail. Sentenced to life in a small cell. Restless on my bed poring over thoughts. I left you when you were pregnant, I can't excuse that part. I burned the candle at both ends, sowed my royal oats. Days turned to months before I finally awoke. I realize that I left you when you needed me most. The damage is done; I can't fix what I broke.
