I'm Sorry Patrick

I am sorry. I don't want you to think that I'm saying those words lightly. For you they may be cheap words but I really mean them. I am so sorry. I know that what I did was wrong and I know that it hurt you deeply. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I do know that I never wanted to hurt you.

I wish I could take it back, but I can't. All I can do is try to show you how much I regret what I've done and ask for your forgiveness.

I shouldn't have lied like that. The truth is I never had any money and felt bad about letting you down. I lied to you. There was no good reason for me to lie to you like that.

I could try to excuse it, but that won't change what I did. I lied.

I was wrong.

I betrayed your trust that you put into me. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry for lying to you. I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for betraying you.

What I did was absolutely wrong, and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't trust me again for a long time, if ever. I understand.

I shouldn't have lied to you. I was wrong, and I am sorry.

I thought I could tell you face to face about me not having any money but I was never given that chance.

I hope you can forgive me for lying to you, but I understand if you can't. For what it's worth I feel terrible. You don't deserve to be lied to like that.

I would hate it if you lied to me, so I should treat you the same way; I shouldn't lie to you. I'm sorry that I did.
