Dearest Starbucks,

How I’ve missed your overpriced, gourmet, hipster, burnt coffee! It’s been too long! I remember a [fourth dimension] when I would drink you and only you; when I thought you were the height of coffee-romanticism, with your classy décor and pleasant servers (all of which seem to like to do that awesome flip-the-cup-around-and-catch-it-like-a-boss routine (what I wouldn’t give to be able to do that!)). But now I know better. You are all [sounds made into thoughts] and no [movement propelling you in a specific direction].

Coffee! Yay.


Now, I don’t mean to be scathing, Starbucks, I really don’t, but I was disappointed in you, after having you for so long and then never drinking you for several months – I thought it would be romance rekindled! I was wrong. There is no spark; no flame to keep my love burning. I no longer love you. I may be being over-dramatic, but it’s the truth. I have become accustomed now to home-town [beans-crushed-and-turned-into-a-delicious-drink] shops, where their brew is slightly sweeter, and more affordable.

Do not fear! I do not regret the [green pieces of paper denoting varying worth] I have lavished upon you! There have been many a night when you were the only thing to keep me going! I have and will continue to appreciate that! I will also not regret our brief but ultimately disappointing fling this weekend. It was good while it lasted, but I have moved on to greener pastures.

This is not goodbye. This is merely an acknowledgement to let the good times stay good and to let the next times come and go as they do. No hard feelings on either side.

Hell, one day, I’ll bet we can sit together over some coffee and [make happy sounds] about this!

With many regards, affectations, and enthusiasm,

~Jennie
