he says sorry

Written by Hilary hahn on Mon Dec 16 2024

I didn't know how to react when he said sorry. It caught me off guard, and I couldn't find the right words to respond. All these emotions rushing through me - confusion, anger, sadness. How could he think that touching me without my consent would make things better?

We've been together for a while now, and I thought we understood each other so well. But in that moment, everything felt different. The trust we had built seemed fragile, on the verge of breaking.

He told me that he was sorry for thinking that his actions were justified because I had been clingy lately. He even mentioned that if I wanted to break up with him over this incident, he would understand but be heartbroken.

I sat there listening to his apology, trying to process it all. Part of me wanted to forgive him instantly and move past this bump in our relationship. But another part of me wondered if this was just the beginning of something more troubling.

The violin lay untouched in its case beside us as we talked it out - two souls trying desperately to bridge the gap between them once again.

In the end, I decided not to make any hasty decisions about our future together right then and there. We both needed time apart from each other - time to reflect on what had happened and whether or not forgiveness was possible.

As much as I love him and cherish our moments together making music with our violins side by side under starlit skies...sometimes love isn't enough.
