Insecurity

I wonder if ever there will come a time when I won't have to sacrifice one form of happiness for another.

I am an electronic device and she is my lifetime warranty. I didn't read the fine print. I opened myself up to a few small repairs and tune-ups from outsiders, and now the warranty is null and void.

Fortunately, the customer is always right, and if I wait long enough, she'll change her mind. But by then, the guilt I bathe in will have corroded away the new parts that were just installed. And then the cycle begins again.

This or that. Her or them. Whole person or girlfriend.
