So Long, P-Funks

Dear Parliament Lights,


Good-Bye, friend.

It's not you, it's me. Really..it is. I know we have been together for a long time, longer than I care to admit. You were there for me after many late nights and early mornings. You helped me relieve stress. You were there for me when I got my first and only D in college. You moved with me all over the country: New Haven, Columbus, Chicago and now New York. No one can question your loyalty. You were the one I turned to when I was happy, upset, angry, sad, joyful or any other emotion I experienced. We have vacationed together all over the world. Remember those crazy nights in Mykonos, Phukett and Paris? Yeah, me either. You have kept me company during the cold winter months and you brighten my summer nights. There was that time where I was really upset with you when I could no longer enjoy your company indoors, but we got passed that. You forgave me when I cheated on you with your friends Marlboro, Camel, L&M and my most shameful infidelity, Newport. But I always came running back to you. You were my rock. But it is with a heavy heart that I tell you: we need to part ways.

I know we have broken up before and got back together countless times over the years, but this time is it. We have had a good ride, but I just don't see a future for us. I love you, but I'm not in love with you anymore.

I just wanna be friends.

Keep on, keep on truckin'
-Denise
