“dear samantha

i’m sorry

we have to get a divorce

i know that seems like an odd way to start a love letter but let me explain:

it’s not you

it sure as hell isn’t me

it’s just human beings don’t love as well as insects do

I love you far too much to let what we have

be ruined by the failings of our species.

So instead,

I’m going to leave you now,

while I can still remember you fondly.”
