Bear With Me If These Words, They Falter...

They say there's a first time for everything, and well, this is quite possibly one of those times. I hope that this has the effect I intended...

A Little While

If ever there was something special,
That made me want to write a song,
I would say it's you and me, girl,
Though I know I've done you wrong.

'Cause I know that I'm not perfect,
I know I'm not without my flaws,
I try to be the best man I can,
And honey, I want to be yours.

I'm sorry if I ever hurt you,
I'm sorry I forget to say,
Just how much I really love you,
And how much I wish you'd stay.

I'm not too sure how I can show you,
Show you what you mean to me,
How I wish I could convince you,
This isn't how it has to be.

I'm sorry if I ever failed you,
I try to improve the way I am,
And if you feel that you can let me,
I'll show you I'm a lucky man.

So now I'm sat here by myself, dear,
I know that I've made you cry,
And while these words, they may be sad,
I don't want this to be goodbye.

There may be times when I'll annoy you,
Or maybe I'll have made you sad,
But Lord knows I'm trying to show you,
You're the best thing I ever had.

My love, you know I'm sorry for this,
I just want to see you smile,
And if we try we'll make it through this,
It just might take a little while...

I'm aware that people who do this kinda thing for a living probably spend a fair bit more time writing than I have, but when I sat down and thought for a bit this is what I ended up with. It might not be brilliant, but I thought it was appropriate for conveying how I feel. I also intended it to be more of a song than a poem, but since I'm not particularly skilled at either it's kinda a bish-bosh of both...
