Had to share. Thought it was cute.
A farewell note...
Dear David,
I’ve taken some time to reflect and think about things, and I want you to know that I’m no longer angry. Sure, what you did was selfish, opportunistic, and cowardly, but for the most part, I’m not going to judge you. I’m just disappointed that you lied to me.
I admit that things haven’t been perfect lately, and I noticed that the last few weeks you’ve been getting a little distant, but I didn’t think you would lie to me the way you did.
When people called me this morning to tell me that they saw you with him, I honestly didn’t believe them. “No,” I told them, “there’s no way he’s been sneaking around with Stephen behind my back. Sure, we’ve been going through some tough times, but David’s a good guy. We had a really good talk on January 23rd. He told me that he was committed and wanted to make this situation work.”
But I guess you didn’t. I guess you’re willing to throw what we had away. All the good times, all the fun, all the laughs, all the memories. Remember way back when you decided to get into politics? Remember all the hard-working volunteers who got behind you and believed in you? Remember all the early morning campaign stops, afternoon door-knocking, and late-evening meetings? Remember all the results you and Paul Martin together helped deliver for British Columbia?
But I guess that’s all history now. Yes, I feel used. And I feel lied to. And I feel bitter. But far be it from me to stand between what seems like a perfect pairing. After all, to be fair, you and Stephen have a lot in common. Both of you lied during the campaign- you about your partisan affiliation and him about his commitment to accountability. And both of you are clearly opportunistic and willing to do whatever it takes to win.
So there’s really nothing left to say except that I wish you and he a happy future together. And should you decide to get married, don’t forget which political party you can thank for that right.
Love,
Your Liberal voter
