Dear TLC,
You have to be the most stunningly brilliantly, inherently good-hearted, utterly interesting, wholly amazing, and altogether most wonderful person I have ever met.
This is why I have to end things with you.
You see, I am not physically attracted to you in any way, shape, or form. In fact, I am no longer sure that I am even emotionally attached to you. At one point, I thought I may have fallen in love with you romantically. Maybe this was the case; maybe I was a confused teenager. I know now, however, that what is flowing between us isn't love-- at least not in the way that you deserve it. You deserve somebody who is deeply, truly, completely absorbed in every aspect of you. You deserve somebody who will talk to you more than once every few weeks, who will actually take the time out of their day to visit you, who will be able to engage with you on your specific intellectual wavelength, who will be able to challenge you, who will truly light up your world, who will give you all of the adoration and affection that you deserve...
...who is not me.
Sara Teasdale said it best in her poem "I Am Not Yours"; I cannot get lost in you.
"You love me, and I find you still/ A spirit beautiful and bright,/Yet I am I, who long to be/Lost as a light is lost in light."
May you one day find the light that leaves you absolutely and utterly lost in love.
Sincerely,
That Very Distant Girlfriend Of Yours That Does Not Have The Guts To Tell You The Above To Your Face
