Note: Just so all of you know, these drabbles are always pretty short, and generally depressing. Apologies.

Sometimes you thought that all your relationship consisted of was apologies. You apologized to each other all the time. 'I'm sorry I…', 'I didn't mean to…'. It just went on and on and on. No matter how many times you tried to keep from hurting her, you couldn't stop. And she couldn't help but hurt you back. It was destructive. Sometimes you think that you'll kill each other before you turn 40.

But then sometimes you just stopped and thought, hey, no, apologies weren't all you said to each other. It wasn't like you were hitting each other, or even causing emotional scars. 'I'm sorry I forgot to turn the heater on' wasn't that bad, was it? And christ, the way she looked at you… You'd forgive her for anything. And you know it went both ways. Your love was more than petty mistakes. You loved each other. And that was enough.

And then this. You'd apologized so many times. But nothing. 'I'm sorry I wasn't on set that day. I'm sorry I had a job interview I had to go for. I'm sorry I didn't say 'I love you' before I left our apartment that day. I'm sorry I thought there were things more important than you.'
