The truth.

I wouldn't say Terra was a mistake; more like a life lesson or experience. Do I regret the time I spent with her? No, I don't. She was my first love. But love is a strong word, and has many meanings. Yes, I loved her, but not in the way I thought.

Terra was troubled and misunderstood, she clearly had some problems and I thought I could fix them. I was wrong. She needed someone else's help, and that someone wasn't me. And it wasn't Slade either.

I don't blame her betrayal; of course it hurt, it hurt a lot. But it wasn't her fault. She was just in a bad place. We've all had those.

There were many reasons why I fell for her. She was cute, she thought I was funny, and she liked me for who I was. It all seemed perfect, too perfect. I should have known better, but I was blinded by love, and now I'm starting to see clearly again. I can see her for who she truly is. Not a hero or a villain... just a person, Terra. That's all she was truly meant to be.

Terra will always be a part of my life, but that part is in the past, where it belongs, and yes, sometimes it hurts to think about it, but that's okay. Because I don't focus on the past anymore, not when there's someone waiting for me in the future.

I care about Terra; I always will, but things change. I don't love her, not the way I thought. And if I saw her again I would wish her well, and I hope she would do the same, because I am well; I'm good; I'm happy. And that's the truth, things change…
