Relationships

 

Is this one really over?  Fourteen years!  As the old cliche goes, “Some days it seems  like forever and other times, it seems like yesterday.  I believe that, in my life, I have had two others but yours is the most memorable.

I think about how nice it has been to have you in my life.  As I slowly let go of you, it really doesn’t make it easier.  We made a good team.  You always did your part correctly and I tried on my side.  We all have quirks and your funny little noises plus your frequent agitation, I learned to live with.  But I must face reality.

You don’t even seem to understand how much you contributed to my life.  Because of you, I made a much better appearance than without you.  As I said, “We made a good team”, you and I.

So, much as I acknowledge that this unity between us  is over, there will still be some fond memories of the times we spent together.  And maybe, it is time for me to start a new relationship.

In fact, in half an hour, I have an appointment to meet the washing machine salesman at the Whirlpool store.
