apologies, forgiveness

all i needed was for him to listen. in the end it didn't really matter what he said.

i stood there and said everything i needed to. he shed a few tears. i didn't. the emotional load released from my shoulders was a big one. i felt like that was the first time i truly breathed all year.

and as for the other one?

well, there are only so many people i can forgive for one year.

the brazilian can wait.
