Pisces

The apology that was never offered becomes something else when you stop waiting for it to arrive in the shape you first imagined. What you thought you needed was specific words arranged in a particular order, but what you actually needed was the understanding that some hurts exist in the space between two people who both know exactly what happened. You can feel sorry for someone without them ever saying they are sorry to you. The strange relief is that this kind of forgiveness asks nothing of the other person and gives you back the part of yourself that was waiting.
