I think I’m in love with my smartphone.

I think I’m in love with my smartphone.

I’ve never felt this way before.

I used to be lonely without it.

I don’t feel alone anymore.

My phone is my constant companion.

It loves to just hang out and play.

As long as I plug it in nightly,

it charms and delights me all day.

It likes to play music and movies.

It never says no to a game.

It answers my questions so sweetly.

Without it, life isn’t the same.

I hope you don’t misunderstand me

or think that I’m some kind of freak,

but I fell in love with my smartphone,

so we’re getting married next week.
