My Dear Friend,

I’ve spent so much time thinking about the words I want to say, but the only place I can begin is this: I am truly sorry.

I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you feel anything less than cherished, respected, and valued. And yet, I know that my actions have caused pain. For that, I take full responsibility.

Friendship is one of the rarest gifts in this life, and yours has been a treasure to me. I hate knowing that I have put distance between us, and I only hope that in time, you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

I don’t expect words alone to make things right—I want to show you, through my actions, that I honor our friendship and that I am willing to do the work to rebuild what was broken. No matter how long it takes, I am here, and I will wait.

With love and sincerity,
