Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Dear Cigarettes,

It's been 3 weeks since my lips have touched you.  Do you miss me?  Do you miss the 50.00 a week I paid for your company?

Do you miss the time we spent together?  Outside, irregardless of the weather, rain, excruciating heat, freezing winds, balmy spring days, we were together forever.  Or so you thought.

My friends and family tried to tell me but I didn't want to hear them.  My doctors begged, offered help. I was deaf to their pleas.


Like anyone caught in a destructive relationship I was immune to the dangers of the loved one. But then I had a moment of clarity.  I listened, I believed, I stopped.

You have not made it easy.  My body has missed you.  My mind, yea my very cells, have called out for you.  Sometimes my skin crawls I want to be with you so much.

But I'm not coming back.  I will resist your blandishments and your siren's cry. 

Life is too wonderful to be in an unhealthy relationship.  Forget me.  I'm trying very hard to forget you.

Till death do us part?  I don't think so.

Jane

    That would be $150 dollars of course, but still great.
