I'm sorry. I'm sorry that no one loved you the way you loved them. I'm sorry no one stood up for you when you needed it, like how you did for them. He never got the prison sentence he deserved. He never moved on from you. He knew he could never replace you, and yet he hurt you, and I apologize. They never reciprocated their feelings, even after you poured your heart into them.
I'm sorry that you recognized their footsteps and had to live in fear. They didn't fight for you when you needed it, but blamed you, and for that, I'm sorry. They told you that you were the "troublemaker" and the "angry daughter", but why were you angry? I'm sorry that they crushed your dreams, Dreamer.
I'm sorry that you had to leave. I'm sorry that they talked about you behind your back, insulting your name. They destroyed everything you've ever touched and spread nasty lies about you. I'm sorry that they altered the truth, the same truth you wished people had heard.
I'm sorry that they had tried to crush the hope and heartbeat of a child. They turned your blazing fire into a simmering ash, and it was almost fully diminished. But you kept it burning nonetheless, and you kept dreaming. So though I am sorry that I wasn't always there, I was always hopeful. Keep dreaming, My Dreamer.
