What I sent in New Beginnings

Maybe it was a mistake. Maybe I’ve just poked the bear again, but I can’t be called a spineless, immoral coward and not say anything.

“Erika.

I’m sorry I hurt you. I know the following rings hollow, but it was never my intent. You deleted our photos before you sent your initial email. That told me a lot. Specifically, you had already bailed on this relationship. How can I ghost on someone who had already left? I hadn’t saved my own copies because I thought they’d always be there. I wasn’t expecting to break up.

There’s more I wish I could say if only to give you closure since I can no longer give you comfort. However, anything I might say would likely be perceived as responding in anger or without sincerity, so I cannot respond in depth. Since we can no longer communicate without hurting each other, this is my final correspondence to you. Good bye.”
