Dear Baby,

Hey u. I know you expected to wake up and c my beautiful though grimy morning sunshine face. I hope this letter will suffice.

I'm gone. I guess u noticed, but I wanted u 2 know y. See baby, I'm in love. I know, who would have thunk that a kid-of-a-bitch like me could fall, but I did. I really wish it could have been with u, baby. I really do. Cuz I dig you a lot and everything, but I'm about more than just making love. Cuz when there's no love, baby, you can't make nothing good.

I almost wish I were there to share your morning with u, to taste your awakening mouth, the stuff from your sleepy eyes. Nobody tastes as good as u do 1st thing in the am.

This love thing really throws you for a curve, man. I mean, my new baby is sexier than sex itself, but the body is nothing like yours. I never thought I would be able 2 leave that body of yours, but there u r and here I am, with only a few regrets and some scars to remember u.

I would feel worse about leaving u if u didn't have that body of yours, baby. But I know u won't be alone for long, so I don't feel 2 bad. In fact, I feel alright. My momma always told me 2 share. I'm sharing u with the world again. I'm sure it missed u like I'm going 2, 1 of these days.

You know, I trip on how happy we could have been. I really did dig u baby, do dig u, but it's tough 2 chain a soul like mine. Not that I'm so special or anything, but sometimes my ego starts ghetto blastin' so loud that I think it would be foolish to waste all this badness on 1 cat, 'specially one like U (don't take that the wrong way though, okay?)

So I guess that's all she wrote for us, huh? I'm sorry if we didn't have the same ending in mind, but the story still goes on, u know? I mean, there'll be different bodies, there are always different bodies, but it's all the same story. I guess that's y u have to make

moves, shake it up a little, u know?

Even though this letter is getting long and my hand is getting tired, I don't feel like I've said what I wanted 2 say. But I guess I don't have to explain myself 2 u. U know me better than I know myself.

Maybe that's why I'm leaving, huh?

Keep smiling,

Niia
