You were really bad for me and I had been meaning to ask you for quite sometime if it would be okay if we didn't speak. Because I really think that's for the best.
Don't you think the same?
We're predictable, you and me.
A cyclical collision course that's just no good for anyone.
Magnets with an obsurd aversion to the right kind of attraction.
I used to dream of standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower by myself.
I would look out at sunset and I would think about all the things I could do before sunrise.
And you would kiss the back of my neck.
But after dinner, they would rush us out of the brasserie and I wanted to buy you an ice cream cone.
And when I was none the wiser, delirioius in our enchantment with each other,
I was struck down on the wrong side of the road.
And you woke me up with a kiss.
I kept thinking that questions for the decline of our empire.
But what empire was I remembering?
Pillows that smelled of our sex and fights and saliva from wrapping ourselves together.
But today I was mad that you were in permanent possession of our glasses.
The ones we wore
and shared
and called our own.
When we knew we didn't belong.
To anywhere---
Love the irony of juxtaposing this paragraph with the last sentence:

It suggests you aren't ready to completely separate yourself from this person. The Parisian imagery is quite nice. I can be a bit of an idealist sometimes, but I would say you are a romantic!
