Sorry: The Biggest Understatement

How could I do such a thing. How could I be so selfish. All he wanted was something everyone searched for. It wasn’t my place to judge who he loved. Now I’ve messed up everything. I’ve been making him choose between his girl friend & his best friend & there’s no excuse for it. He used to consider me his best friend so I should have been supporting him not bringing him down with my selfish thoughts & opinions. I want to just wrap him in a huge hug & tell him “I’m sorry” a thousand times over. But he’s gone for the the week & I think it’s going to kill me. I’ve done so many stupid things & he’s always been there for me. And now the one time he needs me the most? I look down on him & frown in horrid judgement. I cannot believe how much I hurt him, how much I kicked him when we was already in so much pain. This isn’t so much a ficlet as it is a weak excuse for an “I’m sorry” letter, but I had to write it. It’s frustrating how ‘sorry’ just isn’t enough to express how I feel. He needs to know how awful I feel.

    Since I don’t know you or your situation, this isn’t directed specifically at you, but more of a general rant on apologies.
    This is the problem I have with apologies. You’re only sorry because of the way it turned out. You’re sorry for hurting him, but you would have done the same exact thing again if the results would have been more to your liking. You’re not really sorry for what you did, you’re sorry that it didn’t turn out in a way that benefited you.

    well it’s true that you don’t know me or my situation. otherwise you would know how wrong your comment is. You have to know how much of a brother this kid is to me and you have to know how much i take these things to heart. if you knew me at all, (which you don’t) you would know that no matter WHAT the results were I’d be sorry that he had to feel pain and hurt. because i’m not shallow, and you shouldn’t critisize all other apologies as such.

    i agree i think it was really sweet of her to write this and i think that you need to keep your opinions to yourself, mr. john perkins. as for you just another writer, i DO know you and i know you dont really trust me that much and stuffs, but believe me when i say he knows ur sorry, you didnt even have to say it and he would know. i really think you 2 are like ‘long lost siblings’ or something seriously. but yeah, i seriously doubt he’d let ANYTHING get in the way of ya’ll’s friendship. so dont worry.. =)
