To an amazing girl – forgive me
A Letter of Apology and Reflection
Dear Sandra,
Please forgive me for the way I broke up with you. Looking back, I realize that it was entirely my fault. You deserved honesty, respect, and closure none of which I gave you in the way that I should have.
The truth is, I wasn’t ready for the depth of your feelings. Your honesty, your authenticity, and the strength of your love were overwhelming to me at the time. I wasn’t mature enough to appreciate it, and I certainly didn’t deserve someone as wonderful as you.
I regret that we never sat down to talk. If we had, I would have told you that I simply needed a little space not an ending. Maybe, in a different world, we would still be in contact, still sharing laughter and conversations. Who knows?
I truly hope you never took it personally, because none of it was a reflection of you. You are an incredible person, and you did absolutely nothing wrong. I was the one who handled things poorly, and for that, I am deeply sorry.
So now, from the distance of three years and thousands of kilometers, I ask for your forgiveness. Not because I expect anything from you, but because you deserve to know that I recognize my mistake.
Wishing you nothing but happiness,
Joey
