: What would you think of a letter like this?
: --------------------------------------
: I guess I probably should have written this email a
: long time ago, but only recently have my actions
: really become clear to me. I went through a pretty
: tough time in the past few months, harder then I think
: I was willing to let myself believe. The only way I
: know how to react when things become hard is to
: a)close myself off b)run away c)hurt people before
: they can hurt me more than I already am d)pretend as
: though I can fix everything on my own and distrust all
: of those who offer to help e)ignore the pain I have
: caused others and fool myself into believing that
: somehow my actions towards them were warranted.
: You wrote me an email a while back that said it was
: like you didn't know me anymore, well to a point you
: were right. There is the girl that I let you see when
: you were here and then there is the girl who came out
: when my world collapsed. It's a big part of who I am,
: when I am hurt I run and I hurt others. It is an ugly
: part of who I am and all I can do is apologize for you
: having to witness a very hard time in my life. Further
: more:
: I am sorry for all of the ways I have hurt you.
: I am sorry for not being strong enough to have
: remained your girlfriend.
: I am sorry for abandoning you when I think you needed
: me the most.
: I'm sorry for not letting you in when I think I needed
: you the most.
: I'm sorry for all the times I left you confused.
: I'm sorry for any time you spent thinking that any of
: this was your fault.
: I'm sorry for any of the times you may have doubted me
: or thought that there was another man.
: I'm sorry for not realizing sooner how wonderful of a
: man you are.
: I am so sorry for not understanding that you were
: doing the best that you could to keep us together
: under the circumstances.
: I'm sorry for not being the woman you thought I was.
: I'm sorry I can't say these things to you face to
: face.
: I'm sorry for not making enough time for you.
: I'm sorry for forgetting how you made me feel the
: night we walked in the park.
: And I'm sorry for the awkwardness that I have caused
: between us.
: I don't know that this letter will rectify anything in
: your eyes and I don't know if any of this even begins
: to explain how baddly I feel about ever hurting your
: feelings or if you ever wanted to read anything of
: this nature. I guess in the end I just wanted you to
: know that I thank you for having entered my life.
: The truth of the matter is that I really don't trust
: people. I don't know how to depend on people and too
: many "friends" have betrayed me in my life to make
: that part of myself change very easily. I know now
: that you would never intentionally hurt me and I see
: how wrong I was in immediately putting up a wall and
: removing you from me. Believe me you aren't the only
: person I have done that to and I've paid a heavy cost
: for many of those decisions. Some people have fought
: me and some people have let me push them away.
: Sometimes I am right when I do it and sometimes I
: suffer another regret. I didn't want you to become a
: regret.
: I miss you very much and I don't know that I can
: express how much I care for you. I am proud of you and
: want you to know that I have thought of you every day
: since the day we met.
: -----------------------------------------------
: Would you take her back?
: Would you be suprised that this came from a woman?
