Looking Back: The Fate of Hate (for AnniePoo)

Sitting beside you now, I think of the times through which we have passed together and I am proud to be with you in this place. We're here, sitting in court, hands clasped, because of another fine mess that you seem to have gotten us both into!

I recall the hatred of you that once held me captive. How I longed to see you suffer. How helpless I was! How enthralled!

I now revere this past that brought us to here, this place of comradeship and of loving again - our flawed selves. This time, unconditionally, and truly.
