For the Lie That Hurt You

I lied to you, and I know that broke something between us. I can see how much it hurt you, and I hate that I'm the one who caused that pain. You didn't deserve to feel that way—not for a second.

I want you to know that your feelings matter deeply to me. Please don't ever feel like you have to hide your hurt or pretend you're okay when you're not. Your sadness is valid, and I'm listening. I'm here to understand what you're going through, not to make you feel small or alone in it.

I'm with you through this. I can't take back what I did, but I can promise you honesty from here on, and all the space and patience you need to heal. You deserve that, and so much more.
