I'm sorry
Without thinking, he took out his phone
and punched in a text to her.
He doubted he'd get a reply,
but he needed to let her know
he was sorry.
He wrote I'm sorry, then erased it
and wrote it again. After his fourth try,
he tossed his phone back in his pocket
and dried his eyes.
There was nothing he could say
to make up for
all the grief he'd caused
the woman.
The most he could hope
for was that her heart
would eventually soften,
and she would
forgive him.
