Dear Lover,
We have been together for a few years now. During that time, you taught me a lot. Whenever I lacked experience or knowledge, you helped me along. I know it will be hard to find out this way, but I have to let you go. remember when we first met. It was a late night. I sat alone trying to finish my assignment when our eyes locked across the Internet. You gave me all you had that night, and you have never failed me since. Yes, there were some rough spots in our relationship. At times you didn’t make sense to me, and other times I was forced to seek out another partner because you could not satisfy my needs. There was also that late night when my mom walked in on us. She nearly caught us, but she was clueless about me spending time with you. I know it must be hard to read this letter. You may be wondering why we have to break up after all you have helped me with. The truth is I have entered a new phase in my life, and people are telling me I have to let you go if I ever want to graduate from college. You would not believe what they say about you. They say you aren’t politically correct and you think you know everything but are often wrong. They say because you trust so many others, I can’t trust you. They believe I should not see you because I don’t know what you give me; people put stuff inside you that I would never dream of. One of my friends actually told me that you are only good for a “fun time,” and if I wanted anything more, I have to go someplace else. I have tried to ignore everyone. I told myself they don’t understand you, and as long as I was careful, things would be all right. If you didn’t trust so many people, it would be easier for me to be with you. But if you didn’t trust them, you would not be so free with yourself, a quality I love you for. But being with you would mean hiding in a closet – I can’t live life that way. I am doing this for both of us. We’re better off this way. Goodbye, Wikipedia.
