Pensive apologies

I have been thinking about my past actions.

And I realize, a lot of times, I was not listening to you. I heard,but did not listen.
Or I gave too much "advice" or my own opinion, instead of listening to you. It's something I will change, not for you, but as part of my personal programme.

And I still haven't thanked you for your candour, for your bluntness when you told me your decision.
