I recorded this at 11:52 last night. Please listen first.
Hey you. I'm not going to explain it away. I was wrong, and you didn't deserve it. I kept talking when I should have listened, and then I let you go to sleep upset. I've been sitting with that all day. I'm not asking you to be okay right now. Take as long as you need. The rain can wait.
Thank you for listening.
It's been raining all week
No jokes on this one, you. Just the truth, and a window waiting for the sun.

I was wrong. Not 'sorry you feel that way' wrong. Actually wrong. You were telling me something that mattered and I was half on my phone. When you called it out, I got defensive instead of listening. Then I let us eat dinner in silence because I didn't want to be the first to say it. So I'm saying it first now. You matter more to me than being right. Every single time.
Sorry, and still yours
Not promises for show. Things you'll actually see.
Face down when you're talking. Every time, not just this week.
It's gone from my vocabulary.
If I'm upset, I'll tell you, instead of going quiet and making you guess.
We don't go to sleep angry, even if it means talking till 2 am.
Hold it for as long as you like. Let go whenever.
Next time, I'll listen first and talk second.
Thank you. I'm holding myself to it. 🤞
Whenever you're ready. No pressure, no rush.
The rain's stopped. Thank you for giving me another chance. ☀️
I'll call you tonight.
