As painful as your transparency is, I appreciate the integrity you have found to say this parting of shared habitations has moved from temporary to permanent for you; for us. I would have preferred a resurrection from temporary separation to permanent mutual admiration, but I trust you, too, prefer this shared dream no longer accessible to wounded hearts. I have loved you, I do love you, but I have hurt you perhaps with more wounding skill than my younger compassion found thrill. For these deep wounds where you, we, need trust, I regret, apologize, Would create healing repairs through better bilateral winning communication, as possible, invited, cooperatively embraced. For love invested I have no apology, no regret, no worries about less than abundant warm compassion returns, revolutions, deep resonance with Earth's eternally revolving womb, timeless culture promoting health, best practiced when and where and while we find regenerating passions, synchronic wealth. I realize you are not seeking warm embraces from some Other future lover; nor am I. And yet, should your Right path offer a renewing embrace I would share your joy in responding "Yes!" And, should this miracle descend upon bald and wrinkled me, or even us in some future unfinishable life, I hope you will want no more or less than a joyous part of our continuously extending Family Of warm-felt relationship association friendship kinship, sacred communion. That LeftBrain said, my RightBrain has a farewell duet with Chris Walker: How Do You Heal A Broken Heart? (revised and condensed, lightly, more warmly?) "I can't believe what I just heard Could it be true Are you the guy I thought I knew The one who promised me true love Where did it go? Does anybody ever know How do you heal a broken heart That feels like it will never beat this much again Oh no I just can't let go How do you heal a broken heart That feels like it will never love this much again Oh no Tonight I'll hold what could be right Tomorrow I'll pretend to let you go And were we ever what we seemed Or were we just fools Who fell in love Each with his own dream And now you say you want to leave Start a new life today Those words I thought you'd never say Tonight I'll hold what could be right Tomorrow I'll pretend to Wake and put it all behind me And find that I have finally found A new life In my soul And find that I know how to let you go You go How do you heal a broken heart That feels like it will never love this much again? You go Tonight I'll hold what could be right Tomorrow I'll pretend to Wake and put it all behind me" And find I still safely live with how to let us go.
