i'm not good at saying this out loud. so i built u somewhere quiet to hear it ~ take ur time with it
no softer words for it. no spinning it. u deserve to hear me say it plainly first.
β the part i can't take back β
Iβd never knowingly do something that I knew would hurt you.
But then i js kept on asking you questions instead of figuring it outthat was the worse part.
i'm not going to tell u i was tired, or stressed, or busynone of that is the point right now.
i was wrong. fully. that's the whole sentence ~
the things u typed out and deleted. i've been imagining them all week.
K
drafts u never sent
i'm not guessing to look sweet ~ i'm guessing because i finally realised it all
tap each one to hold me to it. sorry without this part is just noise ~
No more taking things lightly when I know they matter to you. Iβll listen better, understand better
even when iβm explaining myself, iβll make sure you know i understand why youβre hurt first
iβll stop just asking whatβs wrong and actually try to understand what youβre feeling
i'll bring it up first next time. u won't have to be the one who always starts the hard talk
and if i slip. , u can point at this exact page and i'll shut up and fix it
i can't move this one on my own. push the cloud ~ three times should do it.
π tap the cloud
it's been grey like this for hours. i know i'm the reason.
i went looking through your photos, watched the colour come back into them ~
Slap me but donβt get hurt
nothing special. that's the point
You mean so much to me
I think of you all day
iβm not asking you to pretend youβre okay. take your time, iβll be here
since i had u all the way down here ~
hey sweetheart
i've been carrying this around since it happened
not in some big dramatic way, just quietly wishing i had understood sooner and done things differently
here's the thing i actually want u to know:
i'm not sorry because u're upset with me. i'd be sorry even if u'd forgiven me on the spot
iβm sorry for making you feel like you mattered any less to me, even for a moment. you mean so much more than that
u don't owe me a reply today. or tomorrow. u don't owe me a "it's okay" just to make the air normal again
take all the time you need. iβll be here, and iβll show you i mean it instead of just saying it
and when u're ready, i'd really love to hug u about it and kiss your whole face
i am sorry. i love u. both of those are true at once
β me, still yours β¦
