The note was slipped
underneath her front door
Inside a plain white envelope
with her name written in red
The words she read
were not what she expected
He loves her still
but not the way she loves him
He's found somebody
who it all feels right with
This letter was his way
of saying goodbye
The note was signed, "Love, Me"
and that was the end of it
The note fell from her hands
landing at her feet
She stood motionless
with the front door still open

ooooohhhh no a Dear Jane letter.... shhhh. What a horrible way of breaking up with someone. Kinda like text messaging or leaving an answering machine message. So cold... so cruel... so impersonal. Thanks for sharing this one and thanks for entering it into this contest.
