We are both sorry. We are both done.
We both pushed, but neither could catch.
So we both fell. We both got hurt.
That was that. Now we detach.

The author's comments:
Morrie Schwartz said "...you need to learn the emotion, then detach. Don't keep yourself hung up on that one emotion. For example, don't always hold on to the emotion of happy. It is okay to be sad. Don't hold on to depression; feel it, learn it, then
detach yourself."
