Nothing to Apologize For

Nothing to Apologize For
Nothing to apologize for in this room
Nothing to apologize for in the bloom
Of the clean desire, the pure and uncomplicated
Want, the honest and the celebrated
Physical reality of two people who want
Each other, nothing to apologize for, nothing to haunt

Nothing to apologize for, the clean desire’s clear
Nothing to apologize for standing right here
Nothing to apologize for in this honest room
Nothing to apologize for in the bloom

I spent too long apologizing for the want
I spent too long carrying the haunt
Of the unearned guilt about the clean desire
Now I’m standing in the honest fire
With nothing to apologize about
Nothing to apologize for, inside out

Nothing to apologize for, the clean desire’s clear
Nothing to apologize for standing right here
Nothing to apologize for in this honest room
Nothing to apologize for in the bloom

The clean desire has earned its right to stand
The clean desire is the honest hand
Extended toward the honest welcome true
Nothing to apologize for between me and you
The clean desire is its own defense
Nothing to apologize for makes sense

Nothing to apologize for, the clean desire’s clear
Nothing to apologize for standing right here
Nothing to apologize for in this honest room
Nothing to apologize for in the bloom
