It's been a long row. A 16 year relationship. We started because it was the cool thing,every one else was doing it, and then I realized I couldn't live without you. I needed you 3 or 4 times a day, sometimes more. Thousands of dollars spent over the years, and all I really got out of our relationship was a sick feeling in my stomach. But I stuck it out, because I had become programmed to think it was better to stay together. That we needed each other.
We took a trial seperation, and I will admit that I had a fling with your slightly uptight counterpart. And suddenly I could relax. I wasn't up all night, which has worked much better for me. Somedays I felt a little too young to have gone that particular route, so today I came back to you, but it was horrible. You left me sick, bent over, shakey.
So now I know, that we are better off apart. I will look back at some of our time together foundly, surrounded by friends late at night, our early mornings together, quiet over our breakfast. I hope you can forgive me.
So long coffee, it's strickly tea for me now.
