"...i want you to know

this was an experiment

to see how selfish i could be

if i would really carry on to snare a possible lover

if i was capable of debasing my self for the love of another

if i could stand not being wanted

when i wanted to be wanted

& i cannot

so

with no further assistance & no guidance from you

i am ending this affair..."
