To the person who once meant everything to me

I hope you’re doing well. I know you might not want to hear from me, and that’s okay you don’t need to respond to this. I just need to say what’s been on my heart and properly apologize for the ways I’ve hurt you. Looking back, I see how my actions or lack of them let you down. I made you feel unheard and unappreciated when all I wanted was to make you feel valued and secure. I got so caught up in my own struggles that I failed to show you how much you truly meant to me. Knowing you were dealing with your own challenges at the time only makes my failure harder to accept. I’m deeply sorry for that. I don’t fully understand myself yet, but I’ve been working on it. My insecurities pushed you away, and it took me far too long to realize how much self-doubt I carry. That doubt seeped into our connection, creating cracks where there should have been trust. You were more patient, caring, and loving than I probably deserved. The moments we shared the late-night talks, the inside jokes about things only we would understand (like coconut oil or swimming) showed me what it means to feel seen and cared for. Those memories are something I’ll always hold close. I know this doesn’t undo the hurt or change where we are now. You may never accept my apology, and I understand that. But I want you to know that no matter what happens, I’ll always have love for you and wish nothing but the best for you moving forward. Take care of yourself. Always, Someone who still cares
