And now...

...I finally realize.

The pieces have fallen into place,
I understand what was missing.
I love you all, the ones I've left behind.
That love came out of acceptance
of all you are, of all you can be,
of the light I saw shining within all of you.

I chose to love you all.
And once the choice is made,
it cannot be unmade.
I will carry a piece of all of you
within my heart for all of time.
I will always love you all.
No matter what you feel for me.

Your side is irrelevant.
My closure is my own.
I have more love to give,
but to do so must move on.
Goodbye, farewell, good luck.
Perhaps we'll meet again,
perhaps not.

But none of you can ever escape
the love I hold for each of you in my heart.
