"The Biggest Mistake of My Life."

I made the biggest mistake of my life back in the spring of 1992. I still don't know how I messed up so badly. I could not find the voice I needed to talk to you and it cost me everything I held dear. I lost my career, my self respect, my honor and most importantly, I lost you. 24 years of regret and sorrow. I still remember that last look we gave each other, both of us knowing we would never see each other again. I was so confused and afraid that I just withdrew into myself. It was the wrong thing to do. I have regretted it every day since. I am so sorry for how I acted and how I treated you. I have never stopped loving you. To this day, I have loved no other. I have dated no other. I have much to atone for...so many mistakes. Please accept my apologies for all the shortcomings I have. Remember my art...for that is my soul.
