To a Non-Lover

For Putting You on the Line

I'm sorry to my heart for listening to that voicemail message twice and contemplating for a moment returning the call. I'm sorry I would have even thought to jeopardize everything you have rebuilt after you were broken. I'm sorry that I put you on the line so many times just to feel "loved" by any one.

An Apology Letter to Myself

I am sorry to my body that I cut myself. I am sorry that I put scars on you. I am sorry that I dont know how to deal with life other than taking it out on you. I am sorry that I punish you, my body, for things that are not your fault. I am sorry that I make you hurt on the outside just so that I can understand it on the inside.

Forgive Me God (and Cat)

Tonight I was driving home after having a few beers. Not drunk but not legal either. I saw a small flash in front of me, darting before my car, and in a split second I felt like I was driving over a speed bump. Oh. My. God. I circled around back to where it was and I saw the cat. Its back leg was convulsing in the air uncontrollably. Panic, revulsion and guilt all welled up in me. I circled back. The animal was still. There were 2 other cats on the sidewalk, and one of them slowly inched toward it. I dared not blare ny horn for fear of calling attention to myself, because if questioned I would be found drunk and gotten a DUI, which would ruin me. I frantically and hysterically called animal control, which directed me to 911. At that point I figured it would be better to call once I got to my house and pretend someone drove me and had run over the cat. I am heartbroken. I have three cats myself and now feel like one of them must be taken from me to atone for this sin. Please forgive me God.

A Few Apologies

I'm sorry that I lie to myself to make my life easier.

I hate that I am terrified someone will do to me the things somewhere deep inside I want to do myself.

I'm also sorry I ate too much dinner last night, I swear my thighs look bigger this morning.

For Being a Selfish Girl

i am sorry for being a selfish girl who cant see or trust that you care about me. i am sorry for always thinking the worst and being so negative. i am so scared of being close to ANYONE i lie and pretend even to my best friend just so he wont see what a lunatic i am. i feel crazy and i am sorry for being such a downer when all you wanted to do was cheer me up. i am sorry for resisting you and thinking all you wanted to do was screw me around. i am sorry for just not smiling and not knowing when to be calm and just let go. i am sorry for all the lies. i am sorry i was scared to open up. i am sorry i hope it will work out. i am sorry for all the pain i have caused so far.

For Unintentional Things

I am sorry for getting drunk over my limit at the party and doing things that I never intended. It was not my intention to be hurtful. If you all remember I had my baby in my arms and was not mindful of how I might have bumped into my SIL who was just passing by my side. When all of you were apprehensive I was almost left speechless and incapacitated. If I can change things I would drink less and be in my complete control without causing any concern to anyone.

An Apology of Love

To a Girl

I'm male. At my workplace one day a female was collecting items to take back to their proper place. As she reaches to take the items out of my hand, for the first time ever I didn't let go immediately that my hand ended up on her. Just above her left breast. Not touching it but very close.

She didn't say anything but to this day--and this happened a long time ago--because she's such a nice person it's been bothering me.

If she ever comes across this, to you girl, from the bottom of my heart I sincerely apologize as that wasn't intentional.

i'm sorry for hurting our little boy.

i'm sorry for hurting my lover.

i'm sorry for hurting his family.

(i'm sorry for hurting myself.)

A Faithful Apology

Sacrificial. That's how I have to describe the relationship we've shared. Nothing like it. That's how it rates on a scale of one to ten. To the end of time. That's how long you promised this sacrificial relationship.

Selfish. That's me. I chose to put myself first in all things, instead of considering all that you had offered and given up. I wanted my "stuff" and my "preferences" and my...well...I wanted my way. I got it most of the time. I think I'm learning to hate it...maybe. I sure hope so anyway.

Committed. That's you. Day by day you waited for me. You didn't force things to go your way. And, you didn't deprive me either. If I am deprived, it is a result of my choices. And, I have to admit, I am deprived of the best things: unconditional love, truth, strength, gentle leadership and, did I mention, love?

Traitor. That's me. I went back on my part of the deal. I wasn't sure I could hold up my end in the beginning. I trusted I could gut it out in the tough times somehow, though. I couldn't. I ran to my comfortable place, the place that's all about me.

Warrior. That's you. You fought for me and still do. You wanted me to have a wonderful life. You wanted me to have all that I need, and some of the things I wanted. You'd do that for me. You'd defend me against my enemies. You'd stand with me and protect me against this world that would probably beat me down before it would comfort me. You would...and did...give it all up to rescue me from this world, from myself, from the ones who'd like to see me fall. That's you...the knight in shining armor that I've always wanted.

In fact, you're all I've ever really wanted. You're really the only one that's loved me unconditionally...for real. You're the one that laid it all down, so that I wouldn't have to continue in my self-consuming ways. You're the one that offered me a new life...offered completely new and different life.

I'm sorry.

I can't say I didn't mean it. It was a string of choices that was all about me. It was a sneaky thing at first. I barely perceived it. I just thought I'd do things my way occasionally. I didn't think it would make that much of a difference. Really. How much could a few little imperceptable decisions amount to in the grand scheme of thousands of daily decisions?

I'm sorry for not having courage to say no to myself in the little things. Now it seems harder to say no to myself in the bigger things. "What a tangled web..."

I'm sorry.

I've pretended like the words were never penned, as if your love letter to me was a casual, passing thought. While saying that you are sacrificial, committed, and loving, I've responded in selfishness, unfaithfulness, and detachment.

I'm sorry.

All you gave, and that's how I respond?

Blood, sweat, and tears over all this time, and I think I've responded rightly? All of your efforts were all about me. Why didn't I see it that way then?

Right now I tell you that I am sorry. I see probably only a glimpse of what I've done, a small glimpse of the wounds I've caused. I keep hoping I'll feel the full measure of my actions and be convinced; but, at the same time, I'm afraid of feeling it all. I'm afraid of feeling at all, most of the time. Oh, that my sensitivities and emotions would awaken again! Is it possible?

I'm sorry.

Can we start over, Jesus?

Love,

J.J.

Hey Buddy

Hey Buddy

I've been thinking about you alot lately and wanted to finally acknowledge the apology you offered in that message to me so many months ago. I couldn't say anything then, because I just wasn't ready to accept an apology from you - probably because I wasn't ready to forgive myself. But now, I think it's time, so thank you for that. And it's time for an apology of my own.

I am truly sorry for the hurt I caused you and your family. I wish we had left things at a simple friendship - I really valued having you as a friend and it would sure be nice to have that instead of what we have now. I miss you buddy and I hope you're OK and that your family is alright too.

For what it's worth....see ya

For Getting Drunk 2

I'm sorry for getting drunk last night and saying things I didn't mean. It was not my intention to be hurtful.
