I'm soSORRY

Olivia laughing on a city rooftop
oops.

for Olivia

from Ryan, who is very, very sorry

Hi Olivia.I wrote this eleven times. The first ten were full of explanations. This one only has the truth: I was wrong, I hurt you, and I miss you. All I'm asking for is a few pages of your time.

The honest
version

You told me it mattered, and I treated it like it was small. I raised my voice when I should have lowered my guard. And when you went quiet, I told myself you were overreacting, because that was easier than admitting I let you down. You weren't overreacting. You were hurt, and I was the reason.

Being right was never worth making you feel alone.

Things I'd never trade

Olivia smiling
😂Your laugh

The real one, the one that sneaks up on you. I want to earn it back every day.

☀️Your good mornings

Sleepy, crooked, always first. This quiet week has been so loud.

💬Your honesty

You tell me the truth even when it's hard. You deserve the same from me.

🤝Your hand in mine

On every walk, down every street. It fits. It always has.

we're so much bigger than one bad night

Pinky promises

Olivia and Ryan smiling together
  1. 1I'll listen first. Before I defend, before I explain, before I decide what you meant.
  2. 2I'll say sorry sooner. No more cold nights. No more waiting for you to go first.
  3. 3I'll fight fair. Softer words, a lower voice, and always us against the problem.
  4. 4I'll show you, not just tell you. Words are only the start. Watch what I do next.
  5. 5I'll choose us. On the easy days, and most of all on the hard ones.

pinky-promised, Ryan

Remember these?

Olivia and Ryan laughing on the couch

this is who we are.
that night was not.

Dear Olivia,

I don't want to be the guy who wins the argument. I want to be the guy you can come home to, even on the hard days. Especially on the hard days. I'm sorry for the words, the tone, and the silence after. You deserve to feel safe with me when things get loud, and from now on, you will. Not because I wrote it in a magazine, but because you are the best thing in my life and I forgot to act like it.

all my love (and a lot of sorry),Ryan

p.s. the peonies are already in water.

so...forgive me?
