A letter, quietly

Hello Bacha.

This isn't another apology.
It's just something I realised i should say
to one of my favorite person.

THE TRUTH

The truth

I made a joke.

To me it lasted a second.

To you it brought back something that I should've remembered.

I didn't realize that while saying it.

And that's exactly why I'm sorry.

What I Learned

Some jokes aren't funny
when they remind someone
of something painful.

Trust is built
through small moments.

It can also be hurt
in a small moment.

You deserved better
from me in that moment.

Things I Appreciate About You

You're one of the strongest people I know.

A Promise

I can't promise
I'll never make another mistake.

But I can promise
I'll listen.
I'll understand.
I'll do my best
not to repeat this one.

Thank you

for listening.
for forgiving me.
for giving this friendship
another chance.
