As a single man I created a rift between myself and a certain female friend of mine because I said things I did not really mean and was not ready to live up to. After so many years, I felt I needed to amend things between us and the anger was still festering in her heart, I could literally sense it in her responses. I felt I was joking back then but I ended up causing her a lot of pain which I can now only hope and pray she heals from.
