phoenix1 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 You used to be my friend. I would see you light up, hear you and know it was my beloved. My love calling to say sweet things, make fun plans or tell me he was coming over. Now you sit, silent and dark, taunting me. I keep checking you to see if your ringer is up - and yes it is. I take you from room to room just in case you want to speak to me - I didn't want to miss you-but you don't. You are no longer my friend, but my object of obsession. I stare at you and hold you, thinking this will somehow make you want to talk to me. But you don't. And I put you down each night before I go to sleep, and end another day of wondering why you don't want to talk to me anymore. Love, me.
CaliGuy Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Dear Phone: Thank you for not ringing. Thank you for respecting my NC. Thank you for not ringing at 2am. Thank you for not facilitating the passing of breadcrumbs. Thank you for having an ignore feature. Love, Me.
TaraMaiden Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Dear phone: I think I need a psychiatrist. I keep talking to you as if you were a person, when actually, I know you're just a piece of Chinese plastic, metal and junk, designed to make me look as if I'm ahead of the game technologically, but which I actually know makes me look like a loser, because a new, updated, better-than-ever version will be out in ten minutes, and I'll kick myself for not waiting and getting that one instead....which will be out-of-date in 15 minutes anyway.....and do you know where I put my car keys?
Author phoenix1 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 Uhh, my "Dear Phone" letter was kind of tongue in cheek. I was trying to have a sense of humor in all this.......
TaraMaiden Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Yes, I know that. I don't really ask my 'phone where my car keys are. but I did ask it if I'd paid the milk bill last week, because this week it's his turn.... That was a kinda joke too..... The best way to solve a problem is to find some real humour in it. I know you know the 'phone is not really your problem.... Your hanging on to the pain is your problem..... Caliguy's really hit the nail on the head with his type of humour. Have you read the 'no contact' guide in his link? It's awesome, you really need to try it, if you haven't. (....and have YOU seen my car keys....? )
