You’re just a stupid old digital alarm clock.  We’ve been together a long time – all the time that she was here.

You were a fundamental part of our lives.  You woke me up and woke her up with me – even if she went back to sleep.  When I hear your alarm now, I still think “quick, shut it off quick so she can go right back to sleep.”  Then I remember that she’s not here.

My day starts missing her – a reminder, an alarm, at the very beginning of every day.

And now how do I let go?  Can I move on?  The world has changed.  You are a relic in this world.  My world has changed. I am a relic in my new world.  Things will continue to change whether I want things to change or not.

But now I’m moving on to Siri.  The connection is severed.  I let you go.  I don’t want to let her go, but each step moves us further apart.  But should I keep you to remind me that she’s not here or do I keep you hoping that she will come back and things will as they were when it was good?

My mind tells me to be realistic and let you go and let her go, but my heart does not live in this world.
