50 Ways
After a long day at work it was good to be home. Sarah and I had been together for two years now. She moved in just a few months ago, and I was getting used to having her around every day. It was nice to come home and see her friendly face there to greet me.
Tonight when I got home she wasn’t there, but instead I found a letter and a CD by the player. That was nice of her to make a mix tape for me. Popped it in and pressed play. The music started with Paul Simon. I really liked him. “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.” Probably not what I would have chosen for a mix tape, but it was the thought that counts. The music fades and I hear Sarah’s voice.
“This probably isn’t the best way to tell you, but I couldn’t think of a better way. I guess this is the 51st way to leave your lover…”
