explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.

 Title text: It was tricky. |
[edit] Explanation
This comic focuses on dark humor. In the first panel the viewer is led to believe it is a comic lamenting on the loss of love, as it states, "We made it so far together, but then I lost you in the trees." However, when we read the second panel ("Finally") it becomes clear that the joke is that the loss of this "love" is what he had been hoping for all along. The supposed pain that came from such losing a long relationship came not from lamenting the loss of something he put so much effort into, but instead into the fact that it took so long to get there. The image text just furthers this idea.
