I had lost a flickering memory that I had adored,
I had to swim past my fears and anguish,
I had to concede defeat and let go of my ego,
I have to accept rejection and be ready to raise the white flag.
Tell me, aren't we strangers wondering while bandaging our wounds?
We fought for what we believed was right and followed our hearts' guidance,
And in the end, we left with a pack full of wisdom.
Yes, we have indeed loved and lost.
