: i have realized something
: i have realized the distilled essence of all of my desires
: is simply to be able to Love you
: or, more honestly, that you would be able to let me Love you
: and i have realized something else
: i have realized that this desire of mine
: to be free to Love you completely
: with neither regret nor remorse
: will never be fulfilled
: and so now i have a choice
: i can let go of this desire
: to save myself
: from constant rejection and disappointment
: i can accept that you will never let me Love you
: the way that i want to
: the way that i try to
: i can let go of this desire
: accept my fate
: and simply stop trying
: or
: i can take it
: i can endure
: and keep Loving you
: knowing full-well that Loving you means
: an oft-broken heart
: and i have realized one more thing
: one final thing
: that for a life spent Loving you
: You
: for that I can be
: for that I will be
: for that, I am
: Strong
