When I say sorry to you about things I don't regret,
or can't control,
I am not lying.

I am saying that I am sorry for making you unhappy
in the process of making myself happy.

I am sorry that I can not make you happy
by doing what makes me happy.

I’m sorry that I am put in a position
that makes me choose myself over you.

I wish I didn’t have to,
but that’s just the way it is.

You can’t tell me it was wrong,
because it was only wrong to you.

In that moment,
I was thinking about me.

I am entitled to my opinion,
and you are entitled to yours.

You can tell me how it makes you feel,
and I will listen.
I will try to find a better way to reconcile my happiness with yours,
but my actions are not wrong.
I am not wrong.
I should not be told that I am lesser because of it.

I know I am selfish, but so are you.
