I feel free.
This pain will heal in time...

Thank you, my love.


Have you ever had a moment in your life where you knew you were in the place where you belonged? Where you know that everything that had hurt you, everything that had caused you to fall down only to force you to get back up was meant for something? I am no perfect man, I am no perfect knight, I am no perfect father, I am a man who has gone through life the best he could in the way that he knew how. I have enemies, I have friends, I have those who love me and those who will damn me... There's nothing I would change in this world for it. Why? Because I got to see her.

Just one last time.

That's all it took.

I'm sorry I was not the one to kill who took her, I'm sorry I never got the chance to become the martyr I dreamed of being. Everything was worth it because I finally got to say goodbye to her. I finally got to say goodbye to the one who captured my heart without a question and you know what she had told me? She told me...

"Let...

Me...
Go..."



I wept. I wept more tears in that very moment than I have ever imagined possible. Not out of sorrow, but out of acceptance that I have been clinging to my past for too long and I have not been able to look forward until I let her go. I trapped myself in my mind because I was trying to prove myself that I was good enough, that I, Lyco, was a worthy husband of Rosabella. She told me to be happy, she told me that I needed to let go of her so that I could start to live again.

I asked myself if I was strong enough to let go. I asked myself was it worth letting go of the things that hurt me so that I could become better? If not for myself... then for her, because I know now that she will be with me until the end of my days.

I've ignored myself enough. I stopped loving who I was in the mindset that I couldn't be loved again. I stopped being the man I was because I thought I had lost my way in life but all it took for me to see the light once more was to say goodbye. There's no moment in my life that I'm ever going to be ready to say goodbye no one in love could, no one who has felt the love of another person could ever truly say goodbye, yet it is something we must do.

For if we hold onto the pain that binds us to the past, how are we ever supposed to live in the future? How are we ever supposed to love again? How are we suppose to grow if we do not accept that we have been flawed, and hurt, we're living creations we simply cannot and will never be perfect. I strive for the impossible and I know now that I don't need to be someone perfect. I just need to be.... Me.


And so...


Goodbye, Rosabella Corbin.


I love you.



It's time for me to move on. I wouldn't change anything for the world, the time I had with you was the best time of my life, I wish you could see me now. How amazing everything has become, our child, our home, our people. I couldn't have done this without you, I have to let go now.

I have to let you go now...


Thank you, for everything...


I feel the fire in my soul reignited again...


Thank you, Rosabella...
