In the end, amid all the complications of life, is the most important thing simply love?

Not blame, money, not control, not trying to fix things—just love?

Below is a monologue of release, love, and emotional maturity.

The speaker:

Misses someone deeply and now accepts that they couldn’t fix everything.

Understands that surrender brings peace and chooses love over bitterness.

And hopes both of them will find love again—someday.

 It is a farewell, but a warm one—not a goodbye filled with regrets or anger, but one filled with hope.

Sometimes letting go is all you can do, but so is how you let go. Salute.

Title.

I do miss you, you know, and after all these years apart, I've finally picked up the courage to tell you this.

For I now know your heart can become tired, wading through emotional fires that you are unable to fix.

So I've learned beauty sometimes lies in surrender.

For in the end, I'm now prepared to accept peace by sharing two crucial things with you:

 Helplessness is sometimes part of the journey in this life, and we might have to be gracious and just embrace it.

For there is no gain in resisting it, since in the escalation of emotions in your internal battle.

You will no doubt renounce the very obvious, which could help deliver your acceptance and deliverance.

The other is just Love.

I now try to step in tune to Love, within our memories together, for I know Karma will offer little peace to ease the pain.

Because as long as you create memories, yesterday stays forever in someone's soul.

And as long as you create Hope, in doing so, tomorrow beckons with a smile.

For when, or if, or how, you finally find true Love.

Every day could be glorious.

Just keep looking, as I am, for love will surely come when She's ready.
