 A:     Dear  Mary,  I  come  here  today,  in  this  way,  be-
       cause  I  need  to  apologize  to  you. I  failed  you.
       Although  I  did  not  lie  to  you  in  words,  I  lied  to
       you with faces that did not belong to me.  I never
        meant to ruin the friendship that meant the world
       to me. You mean the world to me and now I come
       to you asking for forgiveness.  If in your heart you
       find  you  can’t,  then  I  will  understand  and  learn
       from this experience.

 A:    You came into my life at a time when I needed you
       the most. We talked about so many things that I
       started to realize my heart and my soul could ac-
       tually feel something other than hurt.  You placed
       comfort where there was fear,  confidence¹ where
       there was doubt, a shoulder where tears could fall
       and  completeness  where  there  was  emptiness.
        I  wanted  to  hold  onto  to  this  so  badly  that  I  did
       whatever  it  took  for  you  to  notice.  What  I  didn’t
        realize was that I could lose my entire being, all of
       who I was and all that I had placed in you.
A:     I wanted to be the one who would be there when
       you needed to talk. I wanted to be the comfort for
       your soul when the world was too much to handle.
        I wanted to be strong for you when everything else
       seemed impossible. I wanted to love you in only
       the way you deserved² to be loved, never realizing
       that I was destroying myself and you. Somehow I
        needed you to be a part of my life. The only prob-
        lem was that I was willing³ to jeopardize⁴ everything
       to get that done.

 A:    All the things that I told you about how I felt and
        how  you  make  me  feel  were  true.    Nothing  else
        mattered      to  me    except     hearing      the   laughter     in
       your voice when you were happy.  You made my 

       days  easy  to  get  through  and  my  nights  peace-
       ful;  you  helped  me  look  forward  to  another  day.
        Even  though  distance  separated  us,    just  being
       was enough.

 A:     I’m sorry for hurting you and if I had to do all over
       again I would have been 100% with you.  Forgive
        me please,
