Words I Cannot Take Back

I have replayed that moment in my mind more times than I can count, and each time I feel the weight of what I said to you. There is no excuse for the way I let my anger speak before my heart could catch up. You deserved honesty and care, and instead I gave you carelessness wrapped in sharp words that I can never unsay.

I am not asking you to forget what happened, because something this painful shouldn't just be erased. But I am asking if there is room, somewhere down the road, for me to show you the version of myself you actually deserve. I will do the work, not just say the words, because you are worth every effort it takes to make this right.
