Sorry is the color pink
when you are embarrassed.
Sorry is the feeling you get
when you hurt someone.
Sorry is the taste
of salty tears.
Sorry is the feeling
that you messed up.
Sorry is sadness
and begging for forgiveness.
Sorry is like depression,
only for that moment.
Sorry is when you feel like silk
and are easily hurt.
Sorry is the warm you feel
when you have made up.
The last one is what I'm asking for.
What is sorry without these things?
