Dear John (aka Target)
Since I cannot talk to you in person, I decided to write this letter instead, sad though I am to write it. To begin, let me take a trip down memory lane.
When we first met, I was thrilled! You were everything I wanted, and more. You were handsome, thoughtful, fun and playful, yet you had a serious side too. I loved spending time with you and I enthusiastically told all of my friends about you. Many of them came to hang out with us over the years. It was extra special when you moved into my neighborhood!
I never knew exactly how our time together would turn out. Sometimes it was a quick visit, and sometimes we lingered and passed the time walking and taking in the sights. I loved many of the souvenirs from those visits and they all had a special place in my home or closet :-)
I always left you feeling good about those times together.
As I spent more time with you, I spent less and less with my old friends. It wasn’t hard because you were so special and I really didn’t miss them at all. Once in awhile I would spent just a few minutes catching up with them if you were unavailable, but it didn’t compare to what I had with you.
That is why it is so hard to write this letter to you but I must. You have shown by your words and actions that you have little regard for me, my thoughts, my opinions, and yes, even my feelings. You seem to have disdain for me, rather than the desire to please that you once had. It has been hard for me to comprehend this; indeed for awhile, I even overlooked it and tried to believe it wasn’t true. Recently, I could no longer deny it and your actions made it clear that you no longer wanted to spend time with me, my family, and my friends.
I am sorry to say goodbye on Mother’s Day, but I must and I will move on. Recently I have visited with some of those old friends and we are getting reacquainted. They are helping me recover from the loss of our relationship and seem grateful to have me around.
It is unfortunate it turned out this way but it was your choice. Thanks for the memories.
Sincerely,
Once Loyal Customer
