"If you don’t want a broke man,
you’ll have to endure a busy man. "

I was in this before I was with you.

You liked what you saw when you looked.

My time hasn’t always been my own,
but with it, I’ve been building good times for us.

Have I failed as who?

I’ve never tried to be anything less than what I said I’d be.

Once again, I won’t sleep until this night becomes day,
and it’s quite likely I won’t go to bed until this day turns to night.

So try to entertain yourself with your new attempts;
I left a bit of ambition for you in the fridge.

I will obviously miss what was missing,
but remember, I never failed to deliver what I promised.

You liked what you saw when you looked
to the future,
but my present is to leave you with the remnants of what we could have
shared.

You liked what you saw in the beginning,
and maybe you won’t see me anymore after
finishing this letter.

An open letter that should’ve been a
note of vows or “be back soon,”
but instead became this declaration
of “farewell.”

Of a time that could’ve been ours if you hadn’t wanted it all for yourself,
for a success that was so near if you hadn’t wanted it so far from you.

I did what I could until I couldn’t anymore.

My time is up.

This is the suicide letter
of a love you helped kill.

Thank you for reading this far, dear friend!
