The one that got away...

I made my mistakes, this much I know, but the long and short of it is, the current situation was never in my hands. No matter what may or may not have happened over time, the inevitable truth is that departure was inevitable. That factor of the equation was the one over which I never had control. And though there is no good reason to stay, the point is you could have, and that is something that you, not I will always have to deal with.
