The Thing About Apologies

It was already dark as I waited for the bus home from the interchange. I still couldn't get over what happened over at Marina Square. All I wanted to hear was a sincere apology from her for using that harsh tone of voice on me, infront of a friend who was already on good terms again with her partner, but at the back of my little mind, maybe I deserved being treated that way for talking about an incident which happened a many hours ago, but then again, if I knew that talking about it would annoy her, I wouldn't have done so in the first place.

I then received an sms message. Must be her, I thought.

"If you think I said something wrong, well then, I'm sorry." Does she even know what she did wrong? I asked myself before I started pressing the keypads.

"Just forget about it." I replied

A few seconds later, I received another message from her.

"It's my fault isn't is? For being angry at a boyfriend who couldn't get over a girl smiling at him?" That was when I knew than an argument was coming.

I got angry because I just wanted her to stop being insincere, saying sorry and get angry all over again a few seconds later. Usually, that would always happen if I didn't apologize back or showed that I realized my mistakes, which I did in this case but I just didn't want to say sorry, at least for a first time sake.

As the bus horned to signal the waiting passengers that it's ready for service, I wondered how the relationship's gonna be like in the long run, if she always wanted me to be the one who apologizes first. ):
