Letters to Juliet - Process of Editing

Sincere Apology

As I walked down to the kitchen, I popped down on the chair, spotting my journal on the counter. I opened it up, seeing all my poems.

Broken ones.

Loving him ones.

Losing him ones.

Me trying to fix it ones.

I finally landed on a blank page, my emotions pouring out into this one page. I reread it, deciding I would give it to Harry. I felt as if it explained just how much it hurt me knowing I had hurt him.

I love you so very much,

Even though at times I do things that hurt.

I try so hard to hope that you always see,

How much you being in my life means to me.

I am sorry yet again for causing you pain,

that is the last thing I ever wanted to do.

Even when I am trying to look out for you and do the right thing

I mess up, I am sorry for that too.

I hope that you still know how much I love and cherish you,

Like nothing else in my life gives me the thrill of being loved by you.

So I hope that you listen and see it in my eyes,

this sincere apology that comes with tears from deep inside.

I finally made Harry that sandwich, walking back up to our room. I had moved back into our place, quitting my job as a stripper. I thought about how much my life changed in 5 days. I made it to the door, my phone buzzing in my pocket. I pulled it out, balancing the plate on my one hand, while opening the door. It was Diamond, asking where I was.

"I quit. Don't you remember?" I told her, setting the plate down on Harry's lap.

"Oh yeah." She giggled. She was drunk.

"Diamond, hey. Get off that phone. Get over here right now." Some man boomed in the background. Her boyfriend, Dylan, whom she had told me about so many times.
