When we first got together, we were like Serial Season 1 –
We were daring, exciting and new.
Everyone loved us. Our future seemed long-form.

But now, it seems we’re more Serial Season 2 –
We’re plodding and dull and laborious.
To be honest, I don’t really care what happens next.

Our late night talks once resembled a Marc Maron interview –
Challenging and dynamic.

These days they’re more akin to a Marc Maron monologue –
I kind of want to skip them altogether.

There must be 538 ways to leave your lover,
and that’s why I’ve gathered this attached data,
proving why we should do so.

But listen, maybe we can still be friends?
Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me — let time decide.
For now, I need some Fresh Air.
