I have had my heart broken many times. It's not fun. It feels like the world is ending and it's something that sometimes cannot be avoided. I have found myself very upset with the one's who have left a hole in my heart, but sometimes I forget that I have left holes in the hearts of others as well. The fact of the matter is: you will have your heart broken (probably more than once) but you will also break hearts, too.

Here I am, swallowing my pride and opening my heart. Here is an apology to the hearts I have broken. From the deepest parts of my heart, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I was the reason behind your hurting heart.

I know how it feels to feel like your heart has gone through a paper shredder, and it's a feeling that I never wanted anyone to feel because of me. I'm sorry that I was, indeed, the reason that your heart was broken and that I may be the reason that you had such a hard time putting your heart back together.

I'm sorry that I didn't see you for what you were worth and I'm sorry that I may have had you questioning your worth.

It is almost impossible for someone to break your heart and not leave you questioning why they would do such a thing. I'm sorry for the fact that I was the reason that you may have felt like you are less of a person than you truly are. You are amazing and I was immature. I hope that you have found a way to discover your self-worth and I hope that the hurt I have caused you finds a way to escape your heart so that you can be happy with who you are. You have every single right to be.

I'm sorry that it may have seemed like it was easy for me to be so cruel.

I was selfish and I didn't understand how much power I held on your heart. I was doing things for me and me only, and that was completely unfair to you. In my head, it was the right thing to do - and that's just the thing; it was in my head and was never explained to you and I'm sorry that you never got the explanation that you deserved.

I'm sorry for the sleepless nights.

It absolutely breaks my heart knowing that I was the reason that you stayed up, late at night, wishing that things were different. I should have been the one who was wiping away your tears, but instead, I was the one who was causing them. I'm sorry for the uneasy feelings I gave you. I'm sorry for the pounding headaches from crying and I'm sorry for the unneeded stress that I put on your shoulders. You are worthy of so much more, and I'm sorry I couldn't give you that.

I'm sorry that I didn't make sure that you were okay.

I broke your heart and I didn't make sure that you were going to be alright. I moved on with my life and only thought of myself, and that's something that I'm the most sorry for. Even though I was the reason that your heart was hurting, I should have checked up on you. I should have made sure that you had someone there for you and that you were going to find a way to heal your heart. I failed at this and I am truly sorry.

I'm sorry that I never apologized for breaking your heart.

I never got around to apologizing to you for the hurt that I've caused. Maybe it's because I don't want any old feelings of hurt to resurface because of me, or maybe it was because I'm afraid of you rejecting my apology. Nevertheless, I am sorry for breaking your heart and I hope you understand this. I don't expect you to forgive me and I don't expect you to run back into my life, but I am sorry.

I hope that, if anything, I was a lesson for you. I hope that I was your very last heartbreak and I hope that I have prepared you for any other heartbreak you may experience.

I'm sorry.
