Misunderstandings

I'm in the middle of a communication problem.
What I thought I said was taken in a different way
and feelings were hurt and a relationship broken.
Now, what to do? I apologized, but it wasn't accepted.

So life continues, I will try to be more careful with words,
check for understanding as I teach and interact with others.
Friendships can grow and blossom or stagnant and die.
Sometimes it's not a choice we can consciously make.

Thanks goodness for a loving friend Caryn who understands
and gives support plus a listening ear when needed.
My heart grieves but there is little I can do to mend
the hurt perceived, not given knowingly. SORRY!
(p.s. We were finally able to talk face to face
and resolved our miscommunication...)
