I Should Have Known Better

I've been thinking about what I did, and I hate that I hurt you. You didn't deserve that, and I know sorry feels small right now—but I mean it. I was careless, and I wasn't thinking about how it would land for you.

You matter too much to me to brush this off or pretend it was nothing. I'm going to do better, not because I have to, but because you're worth it. I'm sorry for letting you down.

I hope you can give me a chance to show you that I've really thought this through.
