Dec. 8th, 2002 02:13 amI failed you.
I said I'd be here when you returned.
And though I tried to catch you when I realized you'd beaten me home...you left, and I don't know if you realized...
I feel like I broke my promise to you.
And for once my tears are not falling out of rage.

And if there's nothing more you can do, you don't bang against the wall, but (all too reluctantly, really) admit that it's there. Your only real flaw is that you beat yourself up for your own wisdom, or for simply not managing to do what you're tryign to despite your best efforts. Not trying as hard as you know how, can morally stomach, and is within the realm of possibility is when you've failed someone. Even if someone suffers, you haven't failed them if you've done your best.

Date: 2002-12-08 09:29 am (UTC)I gave my word I would be there, and then I was not.
I did not keep my promise. And while I am feeling better, I still hate to break my promises, even unintentionally.

It's one of the flaws in a long-distance relationship...you just can't be around every waking moment you're not busy doing something else. It's tough to be home with someone when you two don't really have a communal space to call home.
Trust me.

I wanted to make sure her day would end better than it started.
I'm working on it. I promise.
*coughs delicately and hands you a handkerchief*

Date: 2002-12-08 02:47 pm (UTC)I know you understand. It's one of the things about you I love most. :D
*kiss* I shall be unfashhed. ;D
