Dear You

I was wrong.

I'm so sorry.

Friendships come - they go. Some last for a brief season while other's share many, many seasons together throughout a life time. It doesn't have to be an all-consuming, all or nothing, or let's talk every single day, kind of relationship. It's the moments that we are together - whether in body or spirit - that count the most.

Time, distance and life happened along the years. I felt inadequate to be the friend I 'thought' you needed in your life now - not realizing the friend I could be, was all you expected me to be. Instead of running from our differences I should have stood on our common ground and hung on.

I was wrong.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't fight for our friendship. I let it end without fighting instead of saying:

"I was wrong. I'm so sorry. Let's get together face-to-face and let me tell you about my insecurities and you tell me what an ass I am for feeling that way. I'm not perfect  - and as your friend, I will hurt you. As my friend, you will hurt me. Neither will do it meliciously or intentionally - but it will happen.....it did happen. This isn't the end, only life and friendship. It's okay - I love you anyway!"

I failed you and I failed us.

What I want to tell you now is:

"I was wrong. I'm so sorry"

I'm just sorry for the way it ended.
Peace
