Dear future ex, 

Do not date me. 

Because I will learn what you love, 

And all the things that make you happy, 

And I will learn to love what you love, 

To an even greater extent than you loved it. 

And you will be happier than you have event been.  

And our passion will be shared. 

And I will kiss you at all your favorite places.

And I will take you to dinner at all your favorite restaurants.

And I will beat you at all your favorite games.

and I will read you all your favorite books

in a field under the moonlight drinking bad wine.

And I will memorize all your favorite songs.

And I will make sure that nobody else ever compares to me.

Then when I leave, 

And everything that made you happy, 

Now reminds you of me, 

And of what you lost, 

And you will lose both me, 

And the happiness you once felt for these things.

And every future partner will never compare to me.

And I will continue on with a piece of you, 

That you will never get back, 

And I will add it to my collection, 

Of stolen hearts. 

And I will leave fire behind me 

Because that which does not please me 

Should burn.
