The Apology

I’ve rewritten the same letter a dozen times today. Crossed out words, changed openings, started over. It should be simple-just an apology-but every version feels wrong. Too soft, too formal, too late. Now it’s dark outside, the ink’s drying in uneven lines, and I’m still sitting here, staring at the signature. I don’t know if I’m trying to make peace or confess. Maybe both.
