I suppose that on some reflection that I am somewhat at a tearful loss. I am so incredibly sorry. I cannot express to you in words how horrible I feel about all of this. I know how sensitive your concerns can be, and I absolutely do respect your sensibilities regarding certain matters. You must certainly know me well enough to know I would never mean to do anything like that on purpose, and I do hope you will be able to find it in your heart to forgive me for all this disordered cataclysm.
But before you consider the appropriate response to my well intended petition, surely forgiveness and mercy, I would like you to consider that I am not, in this matter, empty handed. In fact, I have a small gift for you to try to make up for it, for the trouble I caused when things were out of control, and beyond my control, so that if there is anything I can do to make amends or make you feel better about the situation, please let me know. I will put my money where my mouth is. Please do let me know. I will happily make a sacrifice to show you how deeply regretful I am about this little hiccup, and hopefully repair some of this in your eyes. It’s not much, but it’s all I have for right now. It is not something that I take lightly.
If it would help ameliorate the situation, or help you feel better, I would be happy to consider gifting a donation to a charity of your choice the amount of $100, or perhaps gifting something neat and luminescent such as a petunia from light.bio.
Perhaps even if you would like perhaps a small pendant in silver from my family jeweler, if it would help? Honestly, I don’t know what you’re into anymore, and I don’t know necessarily what you would want, other than this. Maybe what you want is just me to be a self respecting full grown man about things and acknowledge that our differences over this recent slip may be as lachrymose and egregious as it is for me to consider, for horror.
I am however willing to accept that although the reality of the situation is less than desirable in its uncertainty, and although it may take time to reconcile, that fundamentally all hope is not lost. Just whatever you need, ok?
I will carry on in all probable likelihood that this unbelievably embarrassing upset is not the end, and it's not, I'm sure, and that when I see you around again, I will certainly be smiling joyfully to see you around again.
You will always have a friend and ally in me.
And so again, I say, if there is anything that I can do to help soothe your poor heart for all this, please, don't hesitate to ask. I would do anything to make it up to you. I mean it. It was my bad. I owe you one.
Holy shit, I'm so embarrassed. Fuck, I could scream! I wish I knew what to say or do.
I have pragmatically positioned myself to a conservative resolve of patience, respect, and understanding as best as I am able. I won't ever try to invalidate your feelings, but I will try to gently persuade you to consider that it doesn't have to be like this. I'm trying to hedge my bets defensively, and try to err for a while on the side of caution.
