Ok...

My Dear Dr. Pepper,

You are a great friend. You're there in times of need and times of happiness. You're there for laughs and tears. Thank you for all you do for me. I'm so sad to see you go, but I can't bear to lean on you any longer. The time has come to part ways. I'll go mine; you go yours. Together we were great. Apart, we'll be great, still.

Good bye.

p.s. I'll still see you on special occasions, but we'll have to keep our time together brief and controlled.
