Dear 2008 Primaries, I'm Just Not That Into You Alex Leo | Bio

Dear 2008 Primaries,

I hate to do this, but we have to talk. When we first met it was exciting and new--you opened me up to so many new experiences with so many new people. (I'd never done this with a woman or a black man before--much less at the same time.) But over this past year things have grown stale; our worlds have grown smaller and our relationship predictable. It's not you it's me, I've been having feelings for the general election for a while now, and it's not fair to either of us to keep going the way we are now. I have to move on, WE have to move on.

That night in February was amazing--going for hours, with all those people watching--I've never been so excited. I wanted it to last forever...actually maybe it has. I no longer look forward to our meetings, I no longer wait up for you, and I've been drinking a lot every time we're supposed to spend the night together.

This is so hard, I never wanted it to end like this. I still care about you a lot, but I don't see how a trip to West Virginia can help. My feelings for you may never fade completely, but we can't go on this way; it's not healthy. The longer we do this the harder it will be to end, so I think it's best to make a clean break now rather than end up resenting each other in a few months.

Best wishes,
Alex Leo
