Round and round.
Back and forth.
Yes and no.
On and off.
It's like you can't decide on anything, constantly changing your mind and flipping the soundtrack to which you live. It should be simple. Either you want a future with me or you want to spend your future with him. Yes, it might be a big decision, but I can't handle your constant mood swings and indecisions any more.
I have to think about more than just myself. I have other people who depend on me for their well-being. The confused looks on their faces breaks my heart every time they ask where you are and I can't give them an answer.
When we started seeing each other, I was up front. I told you that I had to think about more than just myself, that dating me meant loving more than just me and helping bring up two beautiful souls. You said you understood, that you were more than happy to love my munchkins and be a part of their lives.
However, your actions spoke louder.
You can't be as careless and irresponsible with your own life when there are others that need you around and in one functioning piece. If you want more "adventure," as you constantly call it, then maybe you should just say goodbye to us. Go off on the back of his motorcycle and play daredevil, jumping off cliffs and skydiving.
So instead of waiting for you to break our hearts some more, I'm saying our time together has come to an end. The needle has reached the end of our A-side.
Maybe at some point in the future, we can try again. A point when you are less focused on yourself and are willing to make sacrifices for those you love.
Until then, I wish you luck in finding yourself. For now, I'm leaving the B-side of our record blank.
