The last step would be Acceptance.

This would be the step that brings a peaceful resolution
to all the feelings of longing and unrequited love
that was so tormenting during the process.

Loneliness should no longer exist at this point.
There would be healing on some deep level due to the work of transference.

This would be the light at the end of the tunnel that I am seeking.

This process must be a good thing because it has caused so many good changes in me and therefore my life.

I refuse to believe that the price for those gifts of change would be to leave me so tormented on a deeper level.
