Dear Mr. So and So,



Just so you know, yes I do love you.

I just thought I’d go ahead and get that out.

Did you forget those things you said you’d do?

Did you forget how you wouldn’t let me leave you?

Now I know it’s hard to climb down from that downtrodden horse you ride

To stop trying to point your fingers at me, trying to justify

Rationally excusing every little thing you do that just happens to be

Good enough for me but bad when I do them to you

But I’m sure you must agree, truly and whole-heartedly

You know I really do believe that you really do love me, honestly

But I just can’t see this thing developing when we can’t be where we need to be

And when you just can’t bring yourself to let go and let me

And knowing that I’m willing to move on and take you too

But you can’t even commit to a conversation about what’s next for me and you

You find strength when it comes down to everything else

You can always make a way to do you

But when I’m calling and waiting you’re too tired to

So I just wanted to tell you that I’m not about this anymore

I see myself starting to complain again and I’d rather save me inner wind

Especially as I see you don’t want to talk and you tend to tune me out

So this is me putting it in writing and dating your second notice

And when you say I can change again, I’ll have records to show it.

Now I could be wrong it could be a phase, but I’ve had these feelings before we went through that makeup stage.

So for now I’ll just sit here and wait and when I go back to that place when I won’t turn down offers for other dates

I show you this and I’ll see what you have to say.



With love,

Robyn Evans
