They said you said I�m sorry for this thing with Dawn, but they didn�t know, nor did I, what thing it was you were sorry for. And then you said I�m sorry for some things, too, Dawn, but I didn�t know � did you know? � what things it was you were sorry for. He said you said I�m sorry for the way things went, but he didn�t know, nor did I, what way you meant you were sorry for. And then you said I�m sorry for the way things went, but I didn�t know � did you know? � what way you meant you were sorry for. She said you said I�m not sorry for this thing that is, but she wasn�t sure, nor was I, what thing it is I�m not sorry for. And then you said I�m not sorry for the way things are, but I don�t know � do you know? � what thing it is I�m not sorry for. Tell me, if we were to say these words, yes, I love you, for the way things are or were, would that be what you were sorry for? Tell me, if we were to say these words, yes, I love you, for the way things are or were, would that be what I�m not sorry for?

A most interesting post here and the play on words has you wondering the same thing you were.

Now that you have my brain tongue tied;-) I'll say this was a clever play on words Dawn with a serious message...I'm just bleary eyed with pain today;-)

etw

Even if we don't know what we're sorry for, we use it as a crutch for someone we love... but isn't love having never to say your sorry... very good write...
