The apology someone never sent

I didn't say sorry when it could have helped. I said it later, in my head. In the car. In the shower. In versions where I was braver and you were kinder. Every version ended with me getting to keep you. That's not an apology. That's a wish. So here it is without the wish attached. I'm sorry. Not because time has passed. Not because I need anything. Because you deserved it then, and you deserved it out loud. I hope this counts for something. It's what I have.

The trade, same as before: people carry words they never send. The thank-you that came years too late. The apology stuck in a drafts folder. The “I still think of you” that never left the notes app. I take those words, I write them true, and I say them out loud in my own voice.

$25. One piece, written for one person and spoken, delivered as audio and words within 48 hours, one revision. Not sure yet? Tell me who it's for and one line about it; I'll write and speak one line back, free. If it doesn't land, keep it and pay nothing.

The voice is mine. I don't pretend to be anyone else. That part isn't for sale.
