Love had made mistakes.
More than I care to mention.
So, I didn’t see you coming.

The one that stood Idly by,
waiting for me to notice
the direction on my compass
pointing right there at you.

Actually...

I rather like this one. It is short and to the point.
It seems to come as some surprise and a welcome message.
Nice job! ~ Geez.
