Why is this important to me?
It is just a garage door opener.
However, it is so much more.
It represents the change that happened yesterday.
It is something that shows that I am driving my bus.
Not just because it is color,
but because I have it now.
It is in my posession. Not hers.
I no longer have to worry about her coming here.
If she does come here, it would be breaking and entering.
I took back all access to my home. Now it is mine.
Just a garage door opener? Ahh, no!

Oh, in case you had not guessed,
this is a new phase in this whole "divorce" thing.
This is the phase that I stand up.
This is where the tables turn.
Before, you asked for the divorce, I complied.
Now, well I never will allow you near my life again.

Oh, and eat a freaking cheeseburger, would you?
If any of your friends are saying that is healthy, they are nuts.
That baggy sweatshirt did not hide it.

Let me give you advice that only you would understand.
Remember the fights that we had at the beginning of 2005?
Do you remember what they were about?
Well, I was right then and I still think I am,
it is one of your biggest problems then and now.
If you can't see that, you are still blind.
And that is a shame.

Funny that as I was writing that last section, my phone rang.
It was you. An accident, or were your ears burning.
Yeah, I'm mad, but I am more disgusted about it all now.
I can not wait until this is done, but I have to.

Thanks for not putting up a stink about the garage door opener.
The reason I gave you was true, but the other motive was selfish.
