from last year's Teshuva Drosha by Rabbi Wachsman

Teshuva on Yom Kippur is different then the rest of the year, all year long we tell Hashem that we are sorry for what we did going against Hashem's mitzvot.  On Yom Kippur we are telling Hashem that we are sorry for what we did for ourselves, because we are part of Hashem and when we damage ourselves we are also hurting Hashem. Hashem can not bear when we fall into sin, it is hurting Hashem and he is begging us to do Teshuva, to return to our source.

Hashem is waiting for even a thought of Teshuva from us.  We have to regret our past misdeeds.  We have to realize that we are not separate from Hashem.
