You drop me on the ground, you put your greasy fingers on me, and occassionally, I get dropped in the toilet or shower, but why… After everything I’ve done for you?
I am your phone.
I connect you to your friends, I let you waste hours on Candy Crush, but.. I feel like I’m nothing to you. I remember the first day you pulled me out of the box at the Sprint store. You had a huge smile on your face as you wiped your dirty, greasy finger across my screen. It was perfect, and from that day on I knew we would be together for a long time, and I knew you loved me.
A couple months into our relationship, I felt our connection go. You stopped charging me. I lay dead on your bed while you went and watched tv, or ate dinner. I loved you, and you didn’t care about me. At first when you dropped me, you’d pick me up, hold me and say “My baby, I love you, I’m so glad you’re okay.” Eventually, you didn’t say that. And last month when you dropped me, I cracked. I CRACKED. You didn’t care, and you still haven’t tried to fix me..
I’ve also noticed you’ve been dropping me in water lately. Coincidence? I don’t think so.. You think I’m stupid? I am a SMART phone. You stick me in your back pocket, and when you take your pants off to go to the bathroom, I always fall into the toilet.. and in your shower, you think it’s cool to text your friends. Do you not know water will ruin me? I know you’re upset. I’ve had glitches, my updates suck, I’m getting old, but I’m trying to be everything you need.
I can feel we’re falling apart. But it’s not fair, I haven’t given up on you. I’m still here. I’ve done everything for you. Without me, how would you take selfies? Without me, how would you text all your friends? Without me, how would you be a pro at Temple Run? I just.. I’m falling apart, literally.. and you’re not coming to help me.
