I’m sorry I rejected you.
I’m sorry I told her you’re secret.
I’m sorry I was jealous.
I’m sorry I can’t love you.
I’m sorry I resent you.
I’m sorry I can’t always be there for you.
I’m sorry you won’t always be there for me.
I’m sorry I let our friendship go so easily.
I’m sorry I don’t believe in myself more.
I’m sorry I can’t be more gracious and selfless.
I’m sorry I keep messing it up.
I'm sorry I’m too lazy to fix it.
I'm sorry I’m not good enough for you.
I’m sorry you feel that way.
I’m sorry I don’t look after you better.
I’m sorry I don’t always listen to what you say.
I’m sorry I don’t fully appreciate how wonderful you are.
I’m sorry I couldn’t save you all.
I’m sorry I mis-understood.
I’m sorry I jumped to conclusions.
I’m sorry I feel the need to explain myself to you constantly.
I shouldn’t have to.

The author's comments:
All of this is true, and based on personal experiences and memories. I'm sure most people can relate to at least one of these.
And by the way, 'Mi Culpa' means 'I'm Sorry'. :)
