Hurting You When You Mattered Most

I hate that I hurt you. I know what I did, and I know how it made you feel — like maybe your emotions didn't matter to me. That's the opposite of true, and I'm sorry I made you feel that way. You matter to me more than almost anything, and I never want to be the reason behind your sadness.

I'm not going to pretend that saying sorry fixes everything right away. But I mean this: I'm going to learn from this. I'm going to pay attention, do better, and show you through my actions that you're safe with me and that your feelings genuinely matter. You deserve that.

Thank you for giving me the chance to say this. I love you.
