Sorry, Dear Gustav

Dear Gustav,

Thanks for you interest in visiting me – you are one among many suitors. While I am flattered, I must decline your invitation at this time. My areas are already flooded from previous relationships that didn’t work out (the others “moved on”) and I’m really not ready for your hurricane-force love. I am still trying to clean up the broken promises and shattered dreams that litter the yard of my heart.

Please understand. Perhaps if you veer out into the Atlantic and try again in another couple of weeks, things will be different. But for now, I ask that you please respect my wishes. I am a Category 5 in emotional instability.

Thanks and good luck,

Me
