Not gonna happen

"Hey, could we talk?"

six days pass

"What else do you want from me"

fifteen minutes later

"To say I'm sorry."

the next day

"For what"

fifteen minutes later

"Too many things to say in a text."

one hour later

"Give me an example"

fifteen minutes later

Tough to pick an example because they are all so bad. If it helps, I used this format:

I'm sorry for {specific action} that hurt you and I've taken these {specific actions} to ensure that it won't happen again and I'd like to do this {specific action} to see if I can repair the harm and if I can't, please forgive me.

There's nearly a thousand and I've put them in chronological order starting with when you were four. (I pray to God you can't remember anything before that.)

fifteen minutes later

Yeah okay. I can meet Thursday.
