Three years, four months. The last nine quiet.
You got the morning person. I got the records and the good pan.

You taught me how you like your coffee. I still make it that way. I will stop.

How to Write a Breakup Letter
A breakup letter has one job: end clean. Not a verdict, not a eulogy, not a door held ajar. Write what was real, admit what you are each keeping, and exit without a speech.
How to write it: three rules of restrained prose
- No "it's not you, it's me." Name what changed in facts: the moved cities, the different hours, the silence that got comfortable.
- Keep one true thing. Say precisely what you are keeping — a song, a street, a way of being met.
- Leave without asking for anything. No "I hope we can be friends." The last line should sound like a door closing gently.
Pick the "breakup" mode, put "someone you once meant it with" in the first field, and let the restraint do the rest.
