I hope you could see how sincerely sorry I am for cheating
on you for I have been looking for a new companion now… You have been my loyal
companion for over five years. You have suffered several blows and hits when
you just stop working and your buttons seem to stuck. You have endured my
curses when you freeze for what seems like ages. You throw me into a fit of
frustration when you complete an half an hour task in 2 hours. When the document I type
has all the “As” missing because later I find out that there is a grain of rice
stuck underneath the ‘A’ key and so, all the time I have been hitting the key, it
wasn’t responding. Now, when I have to correct it all over again, you surely stomach some more curses.
Whatever I eat or drink, I feed it to you too. Please don’t take
me wrong, I just care for you. It hurts when you are so hungry and thirsty
doing all the work for me while I am always chewing, sipping and munching on
something. Well, now you have got a taste of everything. I know you love green
tea because whenever I am sipping it, something always seems to happen and I drip
it on you. And you go thirsty very soon! I have told you many times water is
not good for you.
You have also served as a drum for my son. How can I forget
that? When he watches a movie on you and a song plays, he bangs you to the tune
of the song. But when something goes wrong and you throw him into a fit of
frustration, he goes to the extremes and bites you. But remember how many times
I have saved from those tragedies? And how many times I was just a bit too
late?
Your CD player is full of dust. I can’t even dare to open it
as I am allergic to dust.
Oh yes, and your battery is long dead. You just don’t work more
than 5 minutes without a socket.
Coming to your appearance, you have grown old, my dear. You
were silver when we first met. A shiny, silver-grey but now you have got
blemishes and aging marks all over your body. You are no more a pretty sight to
look at.
So you see, it’s clearly time that I move on. I hope you
could see how much I am grieving right now for I know I am going to miss you…
