Title: Messing Up
Author: Syd
Characters: While I have two people in mind, I try to write some stories where it is up to the reader. So whoever you deem fits in this story is up to you.
I messed up.
It is not one of those mess ups where you could buy flowers, maybe some candy or a card to say you're sorry. It was one of those mess ups where you need to take a lot of time to apologize and put a lot of effort into it as well, and make sure that in the time it takes to get back on their good side you do not screw up again to make it worse.
That is my biggest problem though. I will make one mistake and while trying to fix that mistake, I will make another that just digs me into a deeper hole. It feels like every time I climb up three feet in that hole I fall back down to the ground and have to start all over again.
One thing about this that I am confused about however is that no matter how many times I land on my ass in that filthy, wet hole, you still hold out a hand for me, trying to help me get back to the top. I am not sure if that is just the kind of person you are, but what I am really hoping and wishing for is that you know that I am worth the trouble. That even through my mistakes you know I have good intentions with you and that I am just occasionally stupid and make ignorant comments or comments that hurt you.
I really hope that is the case and that you know I am trying so hard to climb out of this hole I have buried myself in. The next day you don't just reach your hand in the hole though, you jump in it with me. You do not say anything that hurts me, or make a mistake, but you do explain why you just jumped into this hole with me.
"I understand. Everyone makes mistakes. What matters is that you know I will forgive you and that I will always be here for you if you are here for me as well when I make mistakes."
It's true love…
