Love, Charley

I'd like to think this is a mutual separation, 

but I'm not sure you feel the same.

We've had our share of good times, haven't we?

I've surely grown more than I ever thought I would.

And as hard as it may be to accept,

I know you're going to make someone else just as happy while I'm gone.

Look, I'm not saying we're over for good,

I just need some time to figure things out —

try a different path,

find a new rhythm,

sleep under a bigger sky.

Hopefully you'll be waiting for me when I return,

but whatever the outcome, I love you, NY.
