Dear...

Dear Pepsi w/ lime,

I have found myself craving you mroe and more as I see my store of you running low. I want to keep you for as long as possible. The only way I know to do this is to only partake occasionally. I know we have had great times together. We've shared laughter and tears. We've seen each other through afternoons full of screaming children and evenings alone. We needed each other. That time is passing. We can't continue doing what we're doing. I must begin, at least, finding a healthier companion. I've tried in the past and couldn't pull myself away. I'm stronger now. I can do it. I know we'll still cross paths, and that's okay. I'll miss our afternoons on ice and our evenings in the driveway, but it's better this way.

I can't bear to go, but can't bear to stay.
You'll be gone soon enough.

Desperately,
Lover of the lime.
