Upgrade

I haven’t upgraded my phone.

Every time Ive tried in the past year, I’ve made excuses not too.

This phone holds too much.

I met you through this phone. Our friendship was forged through this phone. This phone documents every moment I fell in love with you in real time through countless conversations across multiple applications.

This phone is all I have left to cling to of you now that those conversations have stopped.

Today, I finally have to let go and get a new phone. My battery no longer charges and I’ve run out of energy to keep putting it off.

It seems fitting that the very earth would shatter in response.
