How are these words so hard to say? Yet there are sometimes they don't fix things anyway. I was once told "If you love someone tell them, and if you need to apologize to someone, tell them, chances are even if they don't want to admit it, they need to hear the apology about as much as you need to say it" I didn't realize how wise those words were until I got older, and it seemed like the world around me grew colder. I know you told me that it's fine, but I know I crossed a line. I can apologize to you forever for the words that left my mouth, the words that made everything go south. I could tell you over and over again until I'm out of breath, until my death. But that doesn't help me or you. So instead I wish I could tell you how much I love and miss you, but those words are hard to say too.

Authors Note: this is about more than one person!! Things that I messed up and can't fix over words that I shouldn't have let leave my mouth. But I did and there's nothing I can do now but write and pray that somehow someway in the end, they'll both be okay.
