Anonymous Confession

We were 14 and you were my first girlfriend. I was crazy about you! It only lasted a few months, and it ended badly because I was young and stupid. I had gone out of state for a couple of weeks during the Summer, and while there, became completely infatuated with another girl. When I came home, the first time I saw you -- at church no less -- I told you that I'd met someone else. I didn't realize at the time how crass and uncaring I was being. This was 50 years ago, and the idea that I'd done that kind of hurt to you has been bugging me lately. I feel compelled to apologize to you. I've found you on facebook and you seem to be very happy. I considered sending you a message, but there are too many reasons why this is a bad idea. I'm sure that you likely haven't even thought about me for many years. I don't want to reconnect, I just want to apologize. So I'm putting it here, knowing that you'll never see it, but hopefully getting it out into the ether will send some good karma your way. I'm sorry, Nancy, for the way I ended things with you. I was a complete jerk and you deserved better than that.
