Dear Mr TooMuchLove,
First, congrats on your last paper. You kissing my lips that night in December was the start of a new thing — this thing.
Your love was great but not for me. Though, we had a lot of good moments, like banging in my sister’s place under a veil not to mention the moment with the stars.
I’ve decided to end this love affair; flush it down this closet I am currently sitting on.
Please, don’t visit me after reading this and never call my number. I do hope we stay friends and would text your ass when I want.
You don’t need to think of me as I would be right by you — as a friend of course, if you’d have me.
Kindest,
GirlFindsSomethingBetter.
