We just finished shooting the video for my song I Don't Belong To You. The words make a clear statement; what was once something special can no longer be rebuilt. That it's time to go in two completely different directions in life. The lyrics are as follows:

I don't belong to you
Keep it on the down low (oh, oh)
Keep it on the down low
I don't belong to you
Keep it on the down low (oh, oh)
Keep it on the down low
I don't belong to you

Ain't no white house, ain't no picket fence
Baby, you know we don't want the same things
While you're caught up in your feelings
I feel the same as I did yesterday
Baby, we've been through this and I feel the same way
I know you don't wanna hear this, and I hate to say it, babe

I done told you, I done showed you
Now you wanna act like I tricked you
But I'm sleep, can't you see?
There's a difference between me, you and these sheets

I don't belong to you
Keep it on the down low (oh, oh)
Keep it on the down low
I don't belong to you
Keep it on the down low (oh, oh)
Keep it on the down low
I don't belong to you

Ain't no white house, ain't no picket fence
Baby, you know we don't want the same things
While you're caught up in your feelings
I feel the same as I did yesterday
Baby, we've been through this and I feel the same way
I know you don't wanna hear this, and I hate to say it, babe

Don't you act innocent, you own the part that you play
And I'm not interested in playing your childish games
No, no, no, no, I don't have to keep it real
But I do because I care 'bout how you feel

I don't belong to you
Keep it on the down low (oh, oh, oh)
Keep it on the down low
I don't belong to you
Keep it on the down low (oh, oh)
Keep it on the down low
I don't belong to you

Ain't no white house, ain't no picket fence
Baby, you know we don't want the same things
While you're caught up in your feelings
I feel the same as I did yesterday
Baby, we've been through this and I feel the same way
I know you don't wanna hear this, and I hate to say it, babe

Don't take it all so personal
I just can't give you what you want
Don't think that you can just keep tryin' me
Boy, I'll just leave you alone
I don't belong to you

I wrote that song after the altercation at the beach with Kyle. It came to me with such ease as I thought about our relationship then and now. There isn't much now, but then...there was so much. I would list everything off, but I'm too tired to do so.

The knock on my apartment door catches my attention. I close my laptop and make my way to the door. The last person I was expecting to be on the other side was Winnie.

"Winnie?" I say. "Hi."

"Hi Ari." She replied with a small smile. "Can we talk?"

"Sure, come in." I say, opening the door for her to come inside. I close the door behind us. "Can I get you anything?"

"Water is fine." She says, going to sit on the couch.

I nod and head to the kitchen to get her a bottle of water. I go to the couch and hand it to her, sitting down a couple feet away from her. Awkward silence swarms us for a moment before she decides to speak up.
