Each of us is like a box of chocolates. I see many individual's boxes are slightly ajar, presenting only pieces they deem most worthy. 
 Webster's Dictionary defines vanity as "excessive appreciation of one's own worth or virtue". 
 While vanity allows us to expose only our most desirable characteristics to others, I believe those with nearly closed boxes usually are the least appreciative of their true worth. True vanity comes when we can expose proudly ALL pieces, even those hidden in dark corners. 
 Look inside, beyond the cover of false vanity, as I present my truths in raw, emotionally driven words, finding complete self-acceptance of all my pieces as I finally gain true vanity - an excessive appreciation of my own worth. 
 Herein are ALL my pieces in an open box- exposed truths within emotionally driven words created by my heart, soul and mind. With the acceptance and ability to tell of all my pieces - pain, loss, love, fate, hope and to proudly express my sexual thoughts, without the worry of society's backlash - a final excessive appreciation of my own worth and virtue. I am now truly vain. 
 My box is open. Sample me, as you desire.

Ed,  you've captured the essence of the many footprints we leave along this journey of life, some that seem to take us down paths that find us standing alone with burdens and loved ones we lost and grief, loneliness, pain we've encountered along the way, and yet when moments of recollection come especially occasions such as this as you themed your poem with, the lost love recultivated and to cherish for life... that embraces us for all that has made us who we are, it makes each footstep seem as if it was taking us into a place of destiny that makes every moment worth it all. Beautifully scripted, Ed so realistic when it was worded by a pro like you... and your closing verses lend wings of inspiration that lift the heart and soul into higher realms. Wonderful poetry takes on another realm when the closing is beautiful and touches the heart in a soft linger, exactly what this does...
