Dear Pensacola, FL:
It's not you, it's me. No, no, don't say anything...and please don't cry. We've had a good run. Let's focus on the happy memories, shall we? ...we've just grown apart. Of course I won't ever forget you...how could I? Every moment we've spent together over the years, both good and bad completely shaped us both into who we are now. Over the last few years, we really gave it our best shot, but we both knew we were grasping at a fleeting romance. Something this intense couldn't last forever. I will always love you...we just haven't been ~in love~ for some time now. I know what it looks like, that I'm leaving you for someone younger, flashier...everyone's been talking. Chicago and I have to explore this connection...this attraction - but that doesn't diminish anything you and I have had. In another life, we're perfect for oneanother...and who knows? Maybe one day...after some time apart...after I get my head together...we can give this another go. I know our story isn't quite over.
I'll get my things, now...take care...and call me anytime. Really.
Nina
