My friend tells me of this girl who he felt connected with him more
than anyone else.
How she breaks the mold of everyday life when he's with her.
I told him there's a girl like that in my life.

My friend says that if he was with a different girl,
it would feel like settling for less.
I told him I agreed with that.

He looked real serious.
He said,
"Do you ever wonder? If that girl,
the one who breaks the mold,
if she would just be settling for you?"

I had never thought of that before.

I don't know how to tell her.
How are you expected to tell anyone?

"This isn't doing it anymore;
your affections aren't suitable for me.
I would rather have *** with
other people than you."

There's nothing wrong with her.
She treats me well,
and I spend more time with her than most.
But she isn't her. You know? Her.

"It's not that I don't like you.
It's just that most people
make me incredibly lonely.
And you're simply one of them.
No hard feelings, right?"

There's just no pretty way to say it.
