I know girls who spill I'm sorry from their mouths like they pump blood to their veins.
Sometimes, I am one.
I know girls who apologies for asking to go to the bathroom in class, who apologise for every thing because they feel like they are taking up more than a fair share of their space on this planet.
Everything starts with an "I'm Sorry" and ends with one too, like constant book ends that we don't even notice anymore.
We delete her apology the way we delete likes and ums from speech.
I know girls with ten times more apologies than misdemeanours
and I wonder how often they hear,
"It's Okay"
You're more than okay.
