This is just to say I’m sorry
I was just supposed to be once, but before I knew it, it had taken over my life.
And I brought you into it too.
I…I tried to stop it. I only did it once with some friends, but before long I was a fiend. Stealing your money to get ahold of a temporary high. At the time I thought I loved the stuff more than you.
I was so wrong.
Then I tryed to stop. And it led to cutting myself. I almost died and went to the hospital. They pumped my stomach because I had overdosed and slit my wrists when I was high. I hurt myslef and hurt you.
I’m sorry.
You left me for a clean-cut college football player. You’ve known him since highschool and I hear he’s a decent guy.
I’ve stopped and I missed you. I went to rehab. I stayed out of trouble. I was baptised, joined a church. I’m clean. Half a year today.
I’m sorry we ended like we did. I still love you. I always have. Always will, even if you don’t want me back.
This is just to say I’m sorry. I will love you forever and for always.

    Kind of eerie in a stalker way, yet sincere in that the person is clean and apologetic. I mean there are many levels of love….not just the stalker crazy kind….it could be wistful love….I hope. :)

    I think Elsha hit it on the head. It’s that double-tragedy of time wasted on drugs and opportunities missed. Now the apologizer wants the other person back, but at least on some level realizes he doesn’t deserve that second chance. Nicely done.

    Yep, I agree with Elsha. It’s sincere all right, but in a creepy way. Like if you were hearing this spoken aloud to you from the guy, you’d say, “Thanks … I think.”
