I finally understand why my mom used to say: "Saying sorry doesn't fix the situation." No matter how many times you say it, it cannot undo what has been done. It cannot magically mend what has been broken. it can't fix a broken heart. just like it can't put a broken porcelain dish back together. saying sorry does not turn back the time. Sorry only helps the person doing the apologising. so that they may feel better for a little while at least... it only eases the hurt. It does not end the hurt. I can forgive you for when you say you are sorry, but I won't forget how much hurt you have caused.
