Hurting You When You're All That Matters

I know we've been through so much, and we're supposed to be there for each other no matter what comes. But I hurt you anyway—and that breaks me. We both carry wounds that need time to heal, and instead of being patient with you, I lashed out. I'm sorry for that. There's no excuse for making you feel worse when you're already hurting.

You're right that we need each other. Even when life has knocked me down and I've felt lost, you're the one thing that makes sense. And still I managed to hurt you. How could I do that to someone I love this much?

I see you. I see that you're here, that you're trying, that you matter more to me than anything. I want to be the person you deserve—someone who holds you up instead of pushing you down. I'm going to do better. I have to. Because a life without you in it isn't a life I want to live.
