You’ve given me the apology that I needed years ago…

𝒀𝒐𝒖’𝒗𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒈𝒐.

Too late, but thank you still…

Remembering it all now, I’d say—you could’ve saved me.

You have cost me a lot.
A heartbreak that I didn’t want,
A chaos that I could’ve avoided,
A mistake that I brought to myself just because I trusted you with all my heart.

I was too naive to believe and trust that all love is gentle, yet, you’ve opened my eyes to the harsh realities of it.

I was so excited to share my life and dreams with you, but I was not prepared for the nightmare I had to go through.

You could’ve saved me the whole process of wondering why, waiting for you to come back, and at least give me the closure I knew I deserved.

I was hoping, praying, even begging heaven for your apology, thinking it might unbroken me…

But there was none. Instead, I had to learn to apologize to myself—for you.

I had to apologize and forgive myself so I could start picking up the pieces.

I had to apologize and forgive you so I can slowly move forward.
