"I wish I'd realized sooner how perfect she was" Sighs " I only saw her body. I only saw her skin and not her soul" Tears " I wish I could've seen her soul."
Full on sobbing " Now she's with someone else, and they're in love. They love each other." Wailing "I called her today. Asked if she wanted to meet up. She laughed. She laughed. Her laugh was so beautiful, like she was at peace. Like she was happy." He was on his knees now " I knew. I knew right then I'd lost her.  Her laugh didn't sound lovestruck because she was happy without me. I knew her answer before it even rolled down her tongue. I hung up and curled into a ball and cried." He was standing again. " I was so young, so arrogant, so stupid!" He spat the word out " I realized that I'm sorry, and I also realized that I needed to grow up. So, I will. I will."

P:S 

(Just a short story. No hate on anybody.)

I've realized my mistakes. I never saw that girl again. I'm okay with that. She knows that I'm sorry. She just doesn't care. I'm okay with that. I've apologized. I'm free from the weight that's been weighing me down since she left. I'm happy today. And for once, I'm sure I'll be happy tomorrow
