Dear Charlie,

I want to say that I need you to go.  I want to say that we cannot be together any longer.  It is too hard.  You take and take and rarely ever give back.  You are almost entirely selfish.  You tend to your own needs and never to mine.  Just tokens of effort here and there.  You always say you will be there for me, but over and over again they turn out to be empty promises.  You don’t seem to know who you are.  I can’t be with someone divided against themselves.  Because if you don’t know you, you will never really know me.  I offer you everything a heart and soul could need in a relationship but still you are blind to it, all caught up in being something else.  I feel like you are incredibly materialistic as well.  You trade time we could just enjoy being together in pursuit of things we both know you do not need.  But how can I make you see it?  I guess what I am saying is that you are not whole.  The way you go about looking for it takes everything I have and more just to survive and stay centered.  And I do not have a problem saying that I am whole.  I am.  I was whole before you came into my life, and I will be whole when we are no longer together.  I need you to make a decision.  This is it.  You either start changing or we have to part company.  I need you to shift or there will never be harmony between us.  I have loved you and supported you through all of these days and years.  Please give back while I am still here to give back to.

with love and sincerity,

The Planet Earth
