It Hurts To Say Goodbye...

“Never be sad for what is over, just be glad that it was once yours.”

It’s been going on for a couple of months now. We’ve been trying to hold things together by a thread.

You have been as close to me as anyone ever has or ever will be.

For years I stuck up for you, and you? You always covered my back. We were inseparable. We were one.

But, even the closest of friends sometime discover that things just aren’t as they once were.

The warmth with which you had always provided me, has grown cold.

When we come together now, it’s as though I am wandering through a cold, drafty house that was once full of joy and comfort.

Our relationship which was once clean, soft, and woven in strength, has become threadbare and soiled by the stains of time.

We made it through the holidays for which I am happy, but even then, we knew there was a gaping hole between us that could not be fixed.

I will be sad briefly but I will press on, and remember the good times that we had together.

And, as you have indicated already, I guess it is time to split.

I will miss you…



Oh the hell with it. You my good friend, are still fairly well put together. I’ll have Schmoop wash you up and I’ll use ya as a dust rag.

I love you, my baby blue boy warmers.

Happy Friday, all.


Cheers!!

I feel your pain. I am a little choked up to be honest.

Meg said...

Desert Songbird said...

Yes, do tell how those came to be that way, dear Matt. Inquiring minds demand to KNOW!

Schmoop said...

Songbird: Maybe at some point (after the pain has passed) I'll do a video reenactment of the events that have led up to their demise. Cheers!!

The Teamster said...

fix them with snaps...that way you can use them as "peel-offs"

and why is your beer in an insulated cup? you need to drink faster before it gets warm.

Schmoop said...

Teamster: It's just not the same. As for the beer...It needs to breath; I don't want to just slosh it back. Cheers!!

Dianne said...

I think you should fly them on your truck antennea - imagine the crowds you'll draw :)

Schmoop said...

Dianne: Ha. Thee are so many people who already do that in Bagwine, that it would go unnoticed. Cheers!!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

And there you go my friend, which is why I suggested you wear it as a turban

badda BING back at cha

Schmoop said...

Bond: I have converted to being a Parsee, so maybe it would look good when I do my Whirling Dervish thingy. Cheers!!

Ed & Jeanne said...

Oh suck it up man...a little duct tape and you've got years more life out of them...maybe even decades.

Anonymous said...

May they rest in peace. lol

Hubs just finally gave up the ghost on a pair of flannel ND lounge pants that have a huge gaping hole in the ass. It was a bittersweet departure.

Dana said...

Thank goodness YOU will use them for dusting. Somehow I cannot imagine Schmoop wanting to stick her hand in your boxers!

Schmoop said...

VE: And, if the duct tape attaches itself to my ass I can get a Brazilian wax job at the same time. Brilliant!! Cheers!!

Kat: Ha. I like that line. And buff? Wait until Easter. In addition to going meatless, I am going to start working out. Look out, bitches. Cheers!!

Giggle: Ouch!! A faithful pair of flannels AND ND relevant. That is painful. Cheers GP!!

Schmoop said...

Dana: Ha. And yet she does just that wirh regularity. Cheers!!
