Letter of Apology 02 (Trifextra)


For this week's challenge, you have to write a letter of apology in exactly 33 words. Addresses, salutations, closings, etc. (should you wish to include them) do not count in the 33 words.




You know who you are,

I'm sorry you didn't have the strength to walk toward your own happiness, but if you think that 20 years will help me to forget what you did, you were wrong, keep walking.

On Solid Ground

  1. Hell Yes!

    This isn't bitter, its brutal truth and it should be required reading by that person.

    I love your inner strength. It's so admirable.

    1. Thanks Lance, it felt good to get it from the inside to the outside.

      You have your own fair share of inner strength m'Friend, it shows in everything you do.

  2. This has the feel of autobiography. I hope the guilty party reads it, but we probably both know the chances of their feeling bad.

    1. They probably won't, but I did feel better putting it outside of me ;-)

  3. Big difference between forgive and forget. It does help to get these feelings out.

    1. There is a difference, and one does not rely on the other to exist. Yes, Tara it sure does. :-)

    1. On one hand I am sorry you understand it so well, and on the other, I am grateful to have another strong hand of experience beside me. Thank you for reading.

  5. Wow. Your apology brings both sorrow and strength with it. Good for you to be able to get your feelings out-its always worse when stuff keeps bouncing aroundin your head with no outlet.

    1. Thank you Rachael. The dialectic nature of the Universe requires opposites to define one another. I agree that getting the feelings out, are a very important part of healing. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

  6. I am woman, hear me roar. Women are powerful beings. Sometimes men forget that. I liked this.

    1. LOL, that's one of my favorite songs... and an all time favorite artist. I used to put her in the (wait for it... wait for it...) 8 track in the car and drive listening to this song, and many others by her. You brought a nice memory back around to me, thank you.

  7. This is strong. I like that though she doesn't forget, she seems not to dwell in the past.

    1. There is no purpose in pushing the pause button to remain at a point in time which caused pain. I prefer to tackle those moments that creep from the past to the present, at the time of their arrival, rather than wallowing in the days that etched them like memories in my path.

  8. Well said! Sometimes decades won't undo the hurt, and it's strong of you to walk your own path. Nicely done.

  9. Wow. Just wow. Thanks to Facebook, a really despicable ex has tracked me down and periodically tells me I "have to forgive." I ignore/delete his messages because I don't want to let him back in my life. But you captured how it feels in my heart.

    1. The pros and cons of online communication become clearer in moments like that. I can understand, indeed, I can.
