... and today, I feel good about everything again. We're both human, we both made mistakes, so it's not any one person's fault. I did a hell of a lot of good work with you, and I won't lose sight of that just because we crashed & burned. I simply stayed longer than I should have; that's all there is to it. Maybe h is right; that I had to stay, until I was ready to leave. No one else could do it for me. I had to do it for myself.

(It took a lot of writing through all of my feelings, some angry poems, some pathetically needy poems, etc to get here. I'm gonna say the important thing is I'm here.)

Love,
me
