the apology comes after the damage is done "I'm sorry" but those words do not undo the damage done you can knock a dent out of a car sew a stitch in a tear repair a hole in a tire throw water on a fire you can't heal a wound without leaving a scar as a reminder of the hurt felt from the damage done with the proper help one can move on in time the damage done becomes more manageable but the hurt still lingers on waiting for an apology will only lead to a disappointment
