… it has been good knowing you, sweetheart, but the time has come for us to move on. It’s not really about you, it’s about me. I don’t think I am a good enough man for you. We have shared a lot of times together, good and bad. You got cranky at times, but I loved you all the same. You have been good to me. We have shared all our secrets together. I knew the very words to turn you on, and you held my life in your embrace.

But now, I am not so sure we should be so tied to each other. I am afraid I have grown out of you. It started only as a casual fling, but that made me realize what I was missing. I need my freedom, I need my space, outside of your warm embrace. May be both of us, set free from each other, will discover our true selves.

When we first met, you were, well, a little overweight. As you slimmed down, you became a sleek beauty, and we became an inseparable couple. But times have changed. I am sure you will find a good future without me.

I will be fair to you. I propose you keep the house and accessories. I will just take my memories with me. If I have said anything that is of a personal nature, I am sorry, please purge yourself of that memory. It won’t do you any good to hold on to that. Make a fresh start, so you can find space in future; you surely will find love just as I hope to find variety in my pursuit.

So my dear “personal” computer, let’s get a divorce. My casual fling started when I moved my email to Zoho Virtual Office. Then my documents moved to Zoho Writer. Very soon, I find myself going places without you, and finding that I don’t miss you at all. Once I experienced that freedom without you, it is hard to be tied down. Rather than pretend that this is still working, I propose we part on amicable terms. I am sure you will find many new admirers. I hope we can still meet once in a while and be friends.
