You’ve got to give me some slack for not counting years on this one. However, I do admit that I was kind of dense (again) considering that the same set of red flags were already flashed before me. I went on thinking this was going to be different. I think we all know now that it wasn’t.
But I’m back on my feet again and I’m much more composed now than before. I’m letting this one go because we’ve both had enough: I’ve had enough of the same old story while the other party had enough of me. How so? Because no one should be that lucky to receive that much without giving any.
Besides, I do believe that I could be luckier with a new one — someone who can equally give and take.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. (Reinhold Niebuhr)

I lovingly dedicate this song to you by Franz Ferdinand. It’s from their album “You Could Have It So Much Better”. So appropriate.
“Walk Away”
I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said ‘I’m strong now I know that I’m a leaver”
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes I’m cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
Why don’t you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don’t you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don’t you walk away?
The sun won’t swallow the sky
Why don’t you walk away?
Statues will not cry
I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I’m not cold
I am old
At least as old as you are
As you walk away
And as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind’s a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin’s falling
As you walk away
Radio 4 is static
As you walk away
The stab of stiletto

DEN: Thanks for putting that idea into my head. When the “changes” that I want to make have already taken place, I’ll do this semi-professionally.
