Sorry is easy, is thoughtless, is a reflex.
And silly, reckless boy, sorry doesn’t change the past.

Sorry is only a word.
Christian Widell
It is only five letters strung together which falls out of peoples mouths like air.
Without really considering what sorry even means.
Sorry is easy, is thoughtless, is a reflex.
Christian Widell
And silly, reckless boy, sorry doesnt change the past.
Sorry doesnt dry her tears or keep the darkness from suffocating her.
Sorry doesnt mend her heart; it merely covers it in tape and glue.
But it still bleeds, it still hurts, it still feels hollow.
Sorry doesnt save her.
She wants to stop seeing your bodies colliding and picturing the texts you sent.
She wants to stop her feelings from racing between acceptance and anger and intense pain.
So dont get mad at her because youve apologized.
Dont see forgiveness as something which is deserved.
Dont think the word sorry erases your crimes or makes her see you in the same light.
Dont keep saying the word until it means nothing; dont keep expecting it to fix everything.
Trust wont be there until your defensiveness isnt, until you realize what youve done.
You have to be transparent; you have to be an open book.
Because your name and your love was written on every page of hers.
Because she counted on you.
Because she chose you every single day, even when you didnt choose her.
