Hesitation When You Needed Understanding

I know I hurt you that day, and I hate that I did. You needed me to be present with you, and instead I hesitated—I made it about what I wanted rather than what you were asking for. You've always understood me, and I wasn't there to do the same for you when it mattered.

Pushing you away was wrong. I can feel how it's affected both of us—the distance, the ache of missing you. I don't want to live like this. I don't want to be apart from you, and I know that's not what you want either.

I'm going to do better. I'm going to listen without hesitation, and I'm going to show up for you the way you've always shown up for me. You make my life whole, and I'm sorry for making you doubt that, even for a moment.

Please don't stay away. I love you, and I'm truly sorry.
