I’m Not Dumping You
I’m just moving out

I was never with you for your money. I was with you because you were different from all the others. You stuck out. Like a turd in a fruit bowl.
You used to encourage me to have my own interests. You know I like reading random stuff. Like stories about glue, that I can’t put down.
Only the other day I was moaning to a friend about how much you’ve changed. He said, “Cheer up, Lee — things could be worse. You could be stuck in an underground hole full of water.” I know he means well.
You claim you have evidence of how much people love you. But only yesterday I read that “it’s been proven that 80% of people will believe any statistic they read online” (Abraham Lincoln).
Even my dog knows this relationship isn’t fair. And he’s so daft he regularly eats string. I shit you knot.
This relationship is turning into a mess. It’s like going on a date with a girl that doesn’t swallow. There’s soup everywhere.
I do not want to end our relationship. It just feels like your heart isn’t in it anymore. The other day I was going to cut ties with all those that weigh me down. But my climbing partner said don’t do it.
Don’t get me wrong. I like us being together. But before it goes too far I am making some changes.
Medium, I’m not coming home. I’m not dumping you. I’m just moving out. I don’t know for how long. I just need some space.
For now, my new home is here.
