Efa, good bye - # 6

Not just an electronic device

But like another heart

which would beat

with every message,

every call.

A delightful means of 

communication.

Surreal depiction of technology.

A friend in need.

I owe you the best conversations.

It's not one big deal,

you are a sum of tiny little

beautiful things

and even if I say I am in love

with a human, it's not enough

I cannot deny that I 

love you more than

any other thing,

any other being

in this world

But now the time's come

to let you go

Farewell, my love,

you were the best phone

I could've ever had!

PS: I am two days late for this one, Day 6, but it's apt nonetheless! :) Thanks for the amazing prompt! Seemed it fit in just well with my situation!

Here's the prompt: And now, our (completely optional) prompt for the day! This might seem like a bit of a downer, but I challenge you to write a valediction. This is a poem of farewell. Perhaps the most famous one is John Donne’s A Valediction Forbidding Mourning, which turns the act of saying good-bye into a very tender love poem. But your poem could say “good-bye” (and maybe good riddance!) to anything or anyone. A good-bye to winter might be in order, for example. Or good-bye to the week-old easter eggs in your refrigerator. Light or serious, long or short, it’s up to you!
