I've Tried

But it's one missed step, one slip, before you know it.

Nope. No more. No way.
I believe the decision has been made for me.
Mel was right, maybe just leaving things allows the natural processes to take over and to sort things out. Maybe all issues have an internal sorting-out device built in. Or maybe it's just the passage of time that sweeps everything away into eventuality.

And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed.

So here's what's happened. And if it isn't going to be as I think it will be, the consequences sure as hell are irreversible. But this is final, for sure, definate. We take our lives into our hands, and our decisions have consequences.

I hope we can learn to live with ourselves.
