Well, here we are, coming to the end of our time together. In a month you'll be gone, and things will be different. I don't know the ways in which they'll be different, and that's a bit intimidating in the devil-you-know vs. devil-you-don't sense. So in that light, I sometimes think, "are things between us currently really that bad?" It wouldn't be ideal, but we could get by.
I know these thoughts are just cold feet and fear of the unknown, of events I can't control, like putting my future in the hands of a surgeon. After almost 30 years battling you in some form or another, I've become excellent at controlling and compartmentalizing you. But that's a cold comfort at best. I don't operate under the delusion that our split will solve all my problems. I'm hoping it will be an improvement, that's all. Regardless of what the outcome will be, I think you'd agree things can't go on the way they are.
