Dear, Yosi.

You have been with me for far too long I can’t even remember when we first got together.
You have been with me when I needed to relax.
You have been with me when I needed comfort from a stressful day.
You have been with me through good times and the bad (specially those).

I thought you were a friend I have always needed. I was wrong.
You made me feel I was still okay but the truth is, you were slowly killing me.

I have not been with you for several days now and I must admit, I was slowly moving away from you.

It’s been a long time coming but today, I am going to leave you.

It will be rough, I know. There will be times when I will try and talk to you, but i won’t.
There will be times when I will hear your voice encouraging me, but I won’t.
There will be times when I will feel like shit and be needing you, but I won’t.

I am taking this courage of writing to you as my life is far more important than being with you.
I’ll get my life back you have taken from me.
I am taking this courage of writing to you as there are far more important people in my life than you.
I have a siopao now.

It’s been a good ride but, I am sorry to say, I will never see you again.

Good riddance, old friend. And goodbye.

Regards,
Augie
