please

what you are doing

is cruel

and humiliating.

must you seek

revenge

on the 

broken hearted?

more?

i cannot.

i cannot.

i am sorry.

do not worry,

when if it-

you will be fine,

i will be back,

i love you.

i love you.

and i cannot help,

it will not help,

what is time going to do?

but make me 

a lonely stranger

and you 

advantageous. 

(is that what you are getting after?)

i do not believe it.

i trust you.

and i am sorry

that i do it to you.

i am a dummy.

i can make an earnest effort 

not to

but 

i would only be swallowing.

and that is half the battle.

i know how much it kills you.

i know how much it concerns you.

i have an idea how much it annoys you.

i am listening

do not punish me

for loving you

embarrassingly

out-loud.

i trust you too

to know

that i am not a

good swimmer,

and i have come

this far.

so far.

please.

fuck

you right now.

i hope "some 

fresh air"

takes you 

far far far

away from me. 

and farther still.

you'll "do right by me"

by continuing to do

just that. 

bon voyage.

she will relent!

let's prove to them;

our love is a religion.

i know

in the end

i was the 

mvp

and you were

so very 

happy

to have

me

and

sweet

and

twenty years

you finally

begin to

see

and after all the

it's not

you

it's me s

and it's really

really

just

me

i would like for it to be 

about concerning right now

me

if you think

that

sending me to 

bermuda

for a three night stay

will make me forget about you?

you're wrong

for starters

a seven night stay

and we'd 

have to share 

a towel and a twin

i love you

so much

that i don't want to take you to the movies

or kiss and say i do

or spend the rest of my life with:

no.

don't ask me how it makes sense

just trust me

you're perfect

it's true.

but i never want you in my arms

but i'd like to grow old with you. 

you surprise me,

keep it up.

you're only making it easier

for me to undo

every last bit of

investment i have in you.

maybe a fixer-upper

isn't the best

for a first time homeowner.

and maybe the world

isn't enough

for a first rate jet-setter.

and perhaps it won't ever be.

it's never going to

be.

and all i ever wanted was a house with a yard.
