What I Should Have Done

I am introspective today. I can't help but question my life. Sometimes I think that my priorities are right on where they should be and then there are the days that I know there is something wrong.
Today there is something wrong. I am filled with regret and I am hurt that I choose to act the way that I have. And yet I did, I knew what the consequences could have been and yet I did what I did (or didn't do what I should have, as the case is today).
Gone on walks.
Thrown a ball around.
Played tug of war.
Given you table scraps.
Ran together.
Played together.
Just plain given affection.
Now I have missed all of those opportunities, and instead I am stuck thinking how you last few months have been. How hard it must have been for you. I didn't love you and you knew that. You didn't deserve to be treated the way that you were. I hope that you know we are remorseful now. And that I plan to learn from my mistakes.
I am sorry. I will never treat another living thing the way that I treated you.
We were supposed to be friends.
I was a far thing from that.
I understand why you left us.
Again,
I am so sorry.
