The Lord has asked me to release my tightened grasp on something dear and precious to my heart. One of my greatest loves, my greatest treasures, I can no longer keep for my own. I have to open my clenched fist and let the wind take you as pieces of confetti. Although we’ve shared countless moments in the untouched mornings, lulling afternoons and deep-blue midnights, we shall now separate for a time. I can’t deny my ache over this separation. I set out on this journey with a bit of cynicism and a great deal of uncertainty, but set out I do. We shall someday meet again and I will no doubt welcome you back with a loving embrace. I won’t soon forget your company and I pray you don’t forget mine. Thank you for being you; sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet. Either way, you were there.

So I end this lament joyfully, knowing that we have chosen the correct path. Someday again my friend… someday again.
