“I may have hurt you, but my love for you never changed.”
My love,
I should have written this sooner, before the silence became heavy and before the distance between us started to feel like its own kind of ache. I am sorry for the way I hurt you. I am sorry that my actions did not reflect the love I claim so deeply.
If this letter sounds softer than the moment that broke us, it is because I have had time to hear the truth more clearly. I know I caused pain. I know I made your heart work harder than it should have just to feel secure with me.
I wish I had chosen gentleness right away. Since I cannot change the past, I want this apology to be honest enough to matter. I love you. I respect your feelings. And if I am given another chance, I will make my love feel safer, steadier, and more worthy of your trust.
Always, with remorse and hope.
