Me: Sorry.
You: Huh? For what?
Me: Sorry for everything.
You: What the hell are you talking about?
Me: Haha. Sorry.
You: What?
Me: Nah. I was just testing something.
You: Another experiment, huh? And I'm the guinea pig again.
Me: Sorry.
You: Oh, can you stop it.
Me: It's annoying, right?
You: You can say that again.
Me: Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
You: Quit it. Not funny anymore.
Me: Are you annoyed?
You: Yah. Hey ... what are you really trying to point out?
Me: Nothing. It's just annoying, right?
You: Well if it's too much and you really don't know why they're saying sorry. It can really be annoying.
Me: Haha. Yeh, right.
You: Hey, you didn't do this for nothing. Go on, spill.
Me: So ... someone said he's sorry.
You: Oh, a "he".
Me: So, we're focusing on pronouns now?
You: Yeh, we are. Haha.
Me: Does it matter?
You: Not really. So, go on. Why was he sorry?
Me: Well, it's long overdue. I don't even remember why we fought. Or if we really did fight.
You: Wow. That's a very clear picture.
Me: Huh, sarcasm.
You: You know what rhymes with sarcasm?
Me: Oh, don't go there ...
You: Haha. Sorry. Just trying to lighten the mood.
Me: Sorry? You really are not. I have a feeling you are actually enjoying this.
You: Haha. But let's go back to the topic. Why are you really pissed?
Me: First of all, that it is too late. Why only now? Damage had been done. All those drama we had to go through.
You: So there's drama?
Me: Haha. You know me. I exaggerate stuff.
You: You know, it takes time for people to process things. You can't force someone to say they're sorry if they still are not. Maybe, it took him a while to think things through. And now he realized his faults and he is sorry. I think that's better than a half-meant apology when you were doing all those drama.
Me: Makes sense. But ...
You: But?
Me: Since it's too late, he's kinda overdoing it.
You: He's making up for it.
Me: Not really. He just bombarded me with "sorry" messages. Our short conversation had him saying "sorry" more than 10 times and me saying "it's okay" almost the same number of times.
You: Oh.
Me: Yah. It's annoying.
You: So now what?
Me: Nothing. We're back to the awkward stage.
You: Oh.
Me: Well, if it took him time to finally say sorry and really mean it, I think I also need time to process the apology. You know, to really take it in.
You: So you really did not mean the "it's okay" part.
Me: I did. I meant it. I don't really want to hold grudges. But, you know, it's not like we'd be back to how we were prior to everything he was sorry for.
You: Don't you want to go back?
Me: Nah, I'm good where I am now.
You: How about him? Maybe he wants to be back to how things were in the past. Maybe that's why he said sorry.
Me: Oh, then that's a wrong reason to be sorry. But I guess he was just sorry. That's all.
You: Do you feel better?
Me: I guess so. I'm okay. A bit annoyed but generally okay.
You: That's good. What if I'm the one saying sorry? Would you be annoyed?
Me: Depends.
You: On?
Me: What you are asking forgiveness for and how you're asking sorry.
You: Fair enough.
Me: Good.
You: But for the record, I won't let that happen.
Me: Let what happen?
You: Annoying you then eventually losing you. Nah ... won't allow that to happen.
Me: You better ...
