The breakup letter (Dear Snow…)

Snow,

Could you sit down for a sec? I think we need to have a talk. Now,don’t cry, but…I think it’s time I saw other weather systems.

Look, it’s not you, honestly. You’re amazing. I remember that Saturday night last month when you showed up in my life. You were beautiful. What we had was beautiful. You made my Christmas such a memorable one. I’ll remember it forever, babe.

I’m just not ready for this sort of long-term relationship. Don’t shout, please. I’m not implying that a one-night stand where you melt away would have been better. It’s just that when I’m with you,there’s no room for anything else. Buy new clothes, cancel plans with friends, stay at home…you just want too much from me. I won’t say it’s a hassle, but…it’s a daily adventure. We can still be friends. I hope we stay friends—heck, I generally like seeing you. Just a little less of you.

Frankly, I didn’t expect this would happen. If I wanted this type of relationship, I would have gone to plenty of other universities. This sort of thing is just more appealing as a mountain fantasy. And Sunday night? That was the breaking point. You can’t just show up like that without warning. That crossed the line. It’s getting to the point of harassment and stalking. I had plans that night, buses I needed to take, and then you show up and…forget it. There’s no use arguing.

Seriously, I’d prefer if you left, snow. We’ve tried this for a month now. It was fun at first, but now, it’s more hassle than it’s worth. I want to go back to the life I had before. Your icy, exotic personality was wild for a bit, but now I realize you’re just plain cold. I never thought I’d say this, but I think I’ll be happy to see rain.
