The End of a (Short but Awesome) Era

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day & night, it’s only right
To think about the *guy* you love and hold *him* tight
So happy together

This week brought about the end of a wonderful relationship.

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me, and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

From day one, I knew the relationship was whole and pure. It just felt right. We melded together perfectly, forming one symbiotic relationship.

I can’t see me loving nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby the skies will be blue
For all my life

Just being in each other's presence made me happy. We did great things together and even traveled the globe with each other. We experienced things that I had never experienced before. In short, life was good. You made me complete.

Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Almost on a daily basis I was reminded of just how "right" I was to be in the relationship with you. No matter what I was watching on TV it seemed it was inevitable that you would be there, showing your stuff to the rest of the world. It seemed liked bragging, but in this case, it was deserved, but I was still a little jealous that others were holding you.

I can’t see me loving nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby the skies will be blue
For all my life

At first, I denied the feelings of lust of that I felt inside my soul. I stood on the sidelines and watched others who were so happy together. I ignored what my heart was yelling at me, pretending that I didn't need you in my life.

Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

But now that it's over, I see you everywhere. Everyone seems to have you but me - lovingly caressing your flawless exterior. Watching them experience the pure joy when they do the simplest of tasks with you - effortlessly - breaks my heart.

Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We’re happy together
So happy together
We’re happy together
So happy together
So happy together…

And the sad thing is that I've replaced you with something wholly and completely inferior in every way except one - but I cannot ignore that one as it is significant. You see, because of the ineptitude at AT&T Wireless, I am not able to take you with me. Where I am going, you cannot follow. I'm sorry.

In the meantime, I'll subsist by watching others enjoy you. Maybe we can even get together once in a while when I need a quick fix, a "Beauty Call" if you will...



So goodbye, iPhone. It's not you, it's me. Really. Maybe one day, AT&T wireless will get their $hit together and allow people to use you when they belong to a corporate account. If only I weren't doing so much international travel, I would gladly foot the bill to use you.

Goodbye, iPhone. Hello, brick.



Ugh.
