Infidelity

When you've worked in the same restaurant for so many years, nothing is ever really new. I've eaten everything on the menu wayyy too many times. At least our food items lean on the healthier side. I'd be a goner if I worked in an ice cream shop. Although I don't get excited about our menu anymore, it doesn't stop me from craving the same cuisine...but from another restaurant.

I feel guilty but baby, it's not like that. I'm not really cheating. I just need something familiar but different, you know? Our relationship has become a little bland over the years. I try to throw in some Habanero sauce to spice things up a bit but in the end, it's still the same. You think of specials every weekend but to me, it's just a twist on the regular. We're just together so damn much. It's just too routine with us. I need a new scene from time to time. Can you blame me? When I go out, I'm worry free. I get to wear whatever I want and the luxury of not knowing the person preparing my meal.

I donno. Maybe I am selfish. But it's not like I'm not always reminded of you when I go out. Since I'm always seen with you, when people see me, they ask about you. I always have to drive by your place when I go anywhere. I can never truly be free from you in this town...

I don't mean to be harsh. I appreciate your availability. You're there for me when I'm hungry after a shift... Look, time away from you is not necessarily a bad thing. To be honest, if I'm away from you too long, I start to miss you. So lets just try to give each other some space so that we can keep going and so things don't get too old.
