Dear Coffee:

I broke up with you ten days ago.  I needed a clean break.  Sure, it hurt.  And I still get a twinge sometimes, of missing you.

I relied on you too much.  And without you, I am free to be me. 

Sleep is better.  I have more energy in the morning.  I drink more water.  I also drink tea.  

Tea is delicious.  Did you know?

When you were good to me, we were a match made in heaven.  When you were bad to me, it was jittery heartburn and not nice at all.

I said I would never break up with you.  And when I said it, I meant it.  But, you know, people change.  They grow.  

If you want to know if I'm seeing someone else now, I guess I am.  His name is Earl Grey.  But you know what?  He lets me be who I am.  And we're not exclusive.  I am not looking to get serious anytime soon.

I know you'll find someone else.  Take care.

Heather

Earl Grey and I, having a lovely time

Note:  I did stop drinking coffee ten days ago.  I'm still shocked by it, myself.  But it is really nice. FYI.
