Dear (*insert name here),
I know how I hurt you can never amount to a couple of words on a blank sheet of paper, but I’m going to try anyway in hopes that you’ll read this and understand how truly sorry I am. I never intended to purposely hurt you. I have known you for as long as I can remember and I wouldn’t trade our time together for anything else. I know this is so recent and you really aren’t ready to talk this through. At least take a moment to pause and understand how truly sorry I am. It was all completely my fault and no matter what I say will ever justify it. I’m trying to give you my point of view and you won’t listen. That’s okay though because you’re hurt. I want you to be able to take however much time you need. I never wanted it to happen like this because you are the one who has seen me at the worst and best of times. I’m not willing to let go of everything we have over one mistake. So, I am going to do everything in my power to fight for what we shared in the past and our possibilities for the future.
Take these words as a compensation for how awful I truly feel. You think being mad is hard, but feeling how I do is even worse, trust me. It’s that pit in my stomach that won’t go away. Those bottled up tears that are waiting to pour out. All of the emotions you’ve tried to hide for so long just completely escape and there’s no way you can stop them. I value having you in my life and don’t want to lose you. Regardless of who else comes into my life you will always and forever mean the most to me.
Everyone’s feelings will get hurt for so many different reasons at some point, but I really can’t accept that I did this to you. I will do anything I can to get you back. I miss getting your texts everyday. I miss being able to talk to you for hours. I just honestly miss you. I wish there was somebody that could tell me exactly what I should say to make this all be resolved. That wouldn’t be reality though. I just need to trust that you can find it in your heart to look at the mistake I made and realize that compared to my love for you it is completely outshined.
I shouldn’t have feared your reaction and should have just been up front with you from the start. This is the first time I have ever done anything like this, and I vow for the rest of my life I won’t let something like this happen again. I can’t turn back the time. I wish so badly I could. I just can’t. So I guess at this point all I can do is move forward with my life and trust that you can see how unbelievably sorry I am for making you feel angry, betrayed, and upset. You’re the last person I want to be going through this with. Most simply put, I’m so sorry.
Sincerely,
Forever in your debt
