It was just time.  Too long had I avoided the issue, living in the past, refusing to admit that a formerly beautiful arrangement had run its course.  I had to rip the band-aid off, hair or no hair.  I had to make a move.  I needed to spread my wings.  I needed something new.
And so, Rhode Island area code (401), it's over.  I'll always remember you fondly.  I'll even still call once in a while.  But it just hasn't worked between us in a long time.  Things have been strained for almost three years now, since I moved to New York.  And we tried to make it work.  I know we did.  But it just didn't and I think when the hurt fades, you'll realize this is for the best.
And the same goes for you, Verizon Wireless.  We had a good thing going, for a long, long time.  God, remember when I worked for you?  AWKWARD!  I'll admit that right up until I pulled the trigger I didn't believe that I could.  And even still the talking points we used to share with customers ring in my ears, spectral transmissions from a different time and place.  A piece of me will be with you always.
So Brooklyn, I'm yours, finally, officially.  For as long as you'll have me.  Sure took me long enough.
