Letters From The Unintentionally Heart Broken Heart Breaker

I had it all planned out. From the moment you put the phone down at the sound of my voice I knew I was going to give you this. I had it in my mind to give you a week to cool off but then I realised I was too hurt. I would make a fool of myself and not the fool everyone falls for, just the fool that pushes you further away. I prize myself on my ability to construct words but for this I cannot and thus all I can say is I’m sorry… for everything.

I acted like a fool for little under a year and considering how long you put up with me that says a lot about your patience and I’m grateful for that. I played the wounded animal for far too long and perhaps that is just because I didn’t know how to deal with everything but I made it your problem when it never was and that was unfair of me.

This is not me asking for you back or trying to make you feel sorry for me, it is simply a long and overdue apology, but while I took long to say it, it means more than it ever could have when I was so upset.

I’ve said it before but I need to say it again that I don’t wish for there to be any bad blood between us and I hope you can forgive me all my misgivings. I am glad that you are happy and doing well and hope only that we can be friends or at the very least quit hating each other and leave anger and resentment to float away on a wayward breeze.

Don't doubt most of us could write this type of letter, maybe send it, maybe not. It's a finely written confirmation of what both guilt feels like and forgiveness pleaded for really is. This is such a touching post yet phrased in such a reasoned, sincere manner. Wonder if you could do away with a few of the first person singular? Otherwise truly commendable.

yeah perhaps written in the 3rd person would add to impact but it was a physical letter i wrote to someone that's why the 1st person was chosen... thanks for the tip might try it out some time
