I Hurt You and I'm Sorry

I know I upset you, and that hurts me because you mean everything to me. I was wrong, and I need you to know that I see it clearly now. I'm not someone who apologizes easily, but with you—I'd apologize a thousand times if it meant making this right.

You deserve better than what I did, and I'm not asking you to forget or move past this quickly. I just need you to know that I'm sorry. Not the kind of sorry that's easy to say—the kind that comes from actually understanding how I made you feel.

I promise you this: I'm going to do better. You're rare to me, Tessa. You're the only one who matters like this. I swear to God, I'm not upset with you. I'm just sorry, and I mean it.
