hope this letter finds you well

Dear R Train,

I'm sorry, but it's over.

After a year and a half of back and forths, wobbly roads, and a lot of impatient waiting, I am moving on. And I want you to know that the C and I are starting to see each other.

Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed our time together. You're clean, reliable, and relatively good looking, but the C is just closer to my new house and work, and therefore more convenient. I know it's shorter, but sometimes a little less isn't so bad, and so far the C always crowds me, but sometimes I need that in life. You never seemed to care as much. You always came too quickly before I could get downstairs, at least the C will wait for me to get there first.

Also, I wanted you to know that sometimes on late nights... I, well....frankly, I cheated on you with the E. I don't know what it was... I know the E is ugly, really slow, and very seldom reliable, but you weren't around at night when I needed something there for me to help me get home safely. As for the other trains, we're all just friends, despite what the V has been telling you.

You've been good to me, and I appreciate it. I can't say I won't miss you, and I promise I'll visit sometimes. I'll stop by and say Hi if I need to go to SoHo or the Flatiron Building, but I can always take the W if it's too awkward.

I will always hold a special place in my heart for you. You introduced me to this city, and hell, if it doesn't work out with the C, maybe I'll be back for you.

Love,
Jennifer
