It's Time for a Change

See this content in the original post

We hate to say it. But the time has come.

Dear Love of my Life,

I think it's time to consider changing the status of our relationship. I can't believe you came back into my life just 6 months ago and you're already walking out the door again. I'm at a loss for words. (Ok, that was a lie. I have plenty of words.)

When you're gone, my eyes feel so much heavier.

My body aches.

Even the children refuse to sleep the same.

Oh, precious one. I'm lost without you.

They say it will all be fair in the end. They say my days (and evenings) will be brighter and I'll look back at this change and see that it's all for the best.

They say I'll be glad that you're gone.

And this may be true... but I foresee you waltzing back in the door 6 months from now. I know I'll be excited to see you. Every second with you makes me happy, after all... but your coming and going is just more than my body can handle.

I get it.

I know this is just the type of relationship we have. You come and go. I make my schedule work around yours. We do this back and forth dance every, single year.

I can't even bury my head in a hole and pretend it's not happening. There are reminders every time I pick up my phone.

Oh, dear one. I will miss you deeply. Probably to the very core of my being.

And with this, I say goodbye to you.

Farewell.

Adios.

Oh, Hour of 2021... I look forward to the day I can have you back again. *sniffle*

With Love,

Tired One

Spring forward this weekend!
