That This Has Gone on This Long

I am so sorry this has gone on this long. I didnt know and feel ridiculous for being so stupid. I would never want anyone to feel pressured into being my friend. I did all the things only a close friend does because I trusted you were my friend. I love to give, I love to spoil my friends, I am a good friend. I dont go out of my way for casual friends. I dont easily feel the trust I felt with you. Most people wouldnt ask someone to do the things you have asked of me over the years unless the friendship was really close. I had no way of knowing. I never knew you so easily have people thinking you are their closest friend for reasons I will probably never know. I thought you were a man of character and would never hurt me for your own benefit. Maybe its me, I dont know & at this point I cant begin to figure it out. All I know is I have been a good friend to someone that doesnt care whether I live or die. Doesnt care about me or my life. Doesnt share his life with me anymore. Does nothing he used to do when he was a friend, the friend I will remember. It feels like he doesnt know the meaning of loyalty in friendship. Doesnt know he just lost someone who would have been the best friend of his life. Im sorry I never realized this until now. Im sorry you had to pretend to be a friend so as not to hurt my feelings. Its a shame you werent honest because this hurts a whole lot more. I dont need your pity. Im just fine without your fake friendship. Im sorry I didnt know sooner. My faith in you got in the way. Im sorry you never really knew me. You would never be able to do this to someone like me if you did. Im sorry I believed in you. Im sorry for anything and everything I did that may have hurt you in any way & caused you to continue this charade. Im sorry. Your loss!

Old Patterns

I'm sorry that I can't help but fall into old patterns when I go home to see my family. I'm sorry that I can't thicken my skin and not get hurt when my sister is manipulative and undermining, the way she's been my whole life. I'm sorry that I get full of rage and anger when my family jokingly uses me as a punching bag because its comic relief and their way of punishing me for not living in the same town. I'm sorry that I let them get away with it and that I fall for it continually. I'm sorry that in order to survive I have to continue to maintain my life as separate from theirs, although I feel like shit when they don't know what I'm up to and don't ask. I'm sorry I'm trapped in the same script with them, when what I really want is a nice conversation with my mom and to feel part of the family. Instead I'm tense, uptight, pissed and anxious to get the fuck on a train home. The bottom line is that they'll be dead soon and I want to stop fighting and feel loved and get over my adolescent shit already. Or at least get some distance.

So Sorry I Scratched Your Car

I'm so sorry I scratched your car! I didn't hear or feel anything in the parking lot and when I got home I saw the paint on the bumper. I'm sooo sorry, I feel so guilty. I misjudged by a centimeter and I feel so stupid and terrible. I'm so sorry. I have OCD so I continually relive the moment over and over and have lost a lot of sleep and of course I had a panic attack when I realized what happened. They tell me in the grand scheme of things that scratches aren't a big deal, but I honestly feel horrible.

I Love You Pete

I don't know if to be sorry at myself for falling in love with you Pete. I've never been IN love with anyone, nor have I fallen in love with someone so quickly. You're so amazing. I don't think the feeling is mutual tho. I shall have to grasp reality...once again. God help me recover, but you shall always have my heart.

I love you Pete.

My Word Against Your Beliefs

I'm sorry about what happened. I'm sorry that it is my word against your beliefs. You took things too far, and honestly, I don't believe you anymore. Your look says more then any words could. So I've given up on you completely. Those who matter gave me the second chance I know I deserve. You did not, though you pretend to for their sake. So I'm sorry. Sorry that you're missing out on this friendship.

To Cloey

A long time ago I told you that I was seeing someone else. I'm sorry because that wasn't true. I wasn't seeing anyone. I was just afraid you didn't like me anymore and I thought we should break up and that telling you that would be the cleanest way for that to happen. I'm really sorry for hurting you. Looking back, that was a terrible idea.

You Proved You Could Crush Me Like a Fly

I just wanted you to know I can forgive. I am sorry for the way things are now. I
am no longer angry at you and I know if you were to read this I doubt you would believe it but I am not angry. I don't have the energy anymore to hate you. I still don't know why you did what you did. I just wanted you to know this. I needed to say this. I don't have any desire to do what you did to me. You proved you could crush me like a fly and you have all the power you want.

I Want to Be With You More Than Ever

I'm sorry I cheated on you this weekend, with the one man who you think I will cheat on you with. But in a way, it was a good thing, because this weekend I finally broke away from wanting to be with my former guy, and never want to be with him again. I'm sorry, but now I want to be with you more than ever. I wish I could tell you, and you could see this as the good thing it really is. :(

Bleeding Dollars Out Your Butts

I'm sorry, all you right-wing a$$holes who told me in 2000 and again in 2004, "Bush won, get over it," I'm so very very sorry that you'll have to spend at least the next four and possibly the next eight years getting over it yourselves. Oh, and I'm very very sorry that all you rich bastards are bleeding dollars out your butts and panicking about losing your million-dollar houses while I still amble along with my 12-year-old van and my, ah ha ha ha already paid for house. It ain't much but it's by the gods all mine.

Handling Our Finances

I am sorry that I have done such a terrible job handling our finances. I'm sorry that I don't have the nerve to tell you about the four loans totaling $1520 that I have out now. I'm sorry that we may be driving around without car insurance right now. I'm sorry that the cell phones got cut off today. We both work hard everyday, but we spend more than we bring in.

Other Plans Last Thanksgiving

I'm sorry I made other plans last Thanksgiving. I was afraid to assume you wanted to see me; I was always afraid when I was with you. You saw that and tried to help, I know, but I couldn't let it go. My fear was so strong I could barely look you in the eye.

I wonder if we had been together that day... if we might still be today. I hope your new girlfriend is with you on Thanksgiving, and I hope it is a very good day. I hope she's not afraid to be with you, nor you with her.
I hope someday that you will introduce me to the woman who makes me glad that we didn't stay together.

I'm sorry that I have no faith in you. I'm sorry that you will leave your job even though you won't be able to get another which will mean we will very, very shortly lose everything we have.

Mr. Nibbles

Dear Susan,

Let me say how truly sorry I am.

You left me with the responsibility of feeding your rabbit while you were on vacation.

I gave you my word that I would take care of him... and I forgot. I forgot to feed your rabbit.

And now Mr. Nibbles is dead.

Someday, you and Mr. Nibbles will be reunited in heaven. Praise the Lord, amen. Until then, please accept my deepest apologies.

Your friend, Hank

ps: have you thought about getting a guinea pig instead?

For Stealing Your Wife

Sorry for "stealing" your wife. We were/are very much in love. Our marriage wasn't meant to hurt you. She cared for you, I've heard the stories. I suppose you don't think pining for a love you can't have is torture, but I'll be the first to say it is. There's no way I could ever explain to you the depth of this but you are too hurt and justifiably so... I never loved you. I cared for you, I wanted to love you, I tried so hard, but your constant mothering, pushing for answers to your plethora of questions never lead me to anything I'd call real love. I'm ultimately sorry for the lying because it seems like you need to go through this broken soul searching place you find yourself in. I apologize, I admit my mistakes and faults. I know you'll understand, with time.

For Being the Worst Part of Me

I'm sorry for being so self-centered. Im sorry for lieing and breaking your heart. I'm sorry for never really being there when I needed to be. Im sorry for not being exactly what you've always wanted. Im human. I will make mistakes, but all I can do is ask that you accept my apologizes and still love me. I want to make this all better and the way it used to be. I want us to love each other the way we did before I lied. I wont ever do this again. It's not worth risking losing you. I never want to lose you. I do want to spend the rest of my life with you and him. I want to do everything that we said we would, no matter what stands in our way, I want to work through it. I never want to be the one that fucked things up. I never want to see you with anyone else but me and her. I want you to always be there for me. As I want to be there for you. I just want to be your everthing again. Im sorry for being the worst part of me.

That I Am Like Poison

I'm sorry that I'll never be good enough for anyone. I'm sorry that I just don't have it in me. I'm sorry that I didn't die before I was 21. I never expected to be this old. And I'm sorry that I let everybody down. I'm sorry that I like hanging out with my dog more than any human being alive. I'm sorry that I'm too selfish to share my life with others. I'm sorry that I can't seem to fit in with people. I'm sorry that I don't act girly and wear makeup and pink dresses. I'm sorry that I'll never be a good wife and mother like everyone wanted me to. I'm sorry that I hate my job, and my life. I'm sorry that I can't even remember my family's birthdays. I'm sorry that I just don't care anymore. I'm sorry that I will disappear one day and nobody will even remember me. I'm sorry for all the hurtful things I've ever said to people. I'm sorry that I ever married you, R. I knew from the beginning that it could never work but I tried to make a square peg fit into a round hole. I'm sorry for doing that to you. I'm so sorry for what I did to you, K. If I ever loved anyone in my life beside myself, it was you. And I lost you forever. I'm sorry to everyone I have ever known in my life for being a cold, heartless bitch. I wasn't acting tough. That's the way I really am. I'm sorry I am like poison to everyone I meet.

When I Was Too Drunk to Walk

You were a great friend and you took care of me when I needed help. I was homeless and you let me stay with you. When I was too drunk to walk, you carried me. You were always there when I asked and acted like it was nothing. I knew I'd probably never be able to repay you.

Then I slept with your boyfriend. I justified it because you both broke up days before and besides, he was my friend first. I introduced him to you. The important thing is that I knew it would hurt you and I did it anyway and it was wrong.
Is there anything I can do to make it right?

Over a Heartbreak in NJ

To all the freaks, perverts, dorks, morons, idiots creeps, dopes and fools that asked me out in the last years:

I am sorry I said no to all of you. I am not a snob or stuck up like you all say but I was not going to settle for Budweiser when I only drink champagne. Plus the fact that I was still hung up on my ex for over a year...made it very difficult to find someone to connect with.
I have recently found someone that I think is worth giving a fighting chance. See he was hurt as well in a previous relationship as I was. We also have many things in common.

So in conclusion...thanks but no thanks. I finally got someone (after two years of looking) that I think is worth my time.

I wish you all the best but you are not for me.

Signed,
Over a heartbreak in NJ.

Three Years of Heartache and Depression

I'm sorry that i haven't been able to stop thinking about you. For three years. I'm sorry that i can't be the bigger person and say it was nice to know you, or that you're a good person. I still think you're a waste of consciousness. If i could do it again, i would spit in your eye instead of saying 'i love you too.' It would have saved three years of heartache and depression. Three years of second guesses, lost friends, lost relationships, lost chances. Three years of lost life. I would have saved the daily reminder that it was all a game to you, that i wasn't the only one, i was the pawn. I'm sorry i hate you.

I'm sorry that you are going through this whole shitty mess, and I have no way to help you through it.

What if I hadn't pushed you? What if I hadn't encouraged you & pushed you beyond the point you were able to handle? Would all of this have been avoided? I don't know, and I probably never will.

i'm sorry i can't come out as a lesbian to my family or friends. it's not so much that i'm scared to do it, although i am, it's that i'm married and scared to lose my health coverage and way of life (husband and i are well-off). i'd never make as much on my own as my husband does by himself. it's funny how we lose ourselves in life. in case they are reading this, even though they don't know it's me, everyone, i love women and i've known far a very long time.

I'm Sorry it All Changed

i miss the 4 of us and how it used to be and i think im probably the only one of us still holding on but we really did love each other. I know we hurt each other probably more than anyone else in our lives will, but it was because we were so young. And were still growing up but more so growing apart and i never thought we would be like that. it was supposed to be the four of us in the treehouse but we let that slip away. and maybe its better to move on and ill probably never get my heart broken like that again, but im really not sure ill ever care as much as i did again which makes me sad. i really did love us, you. and i miss us, you.
