  • The Obsession!

    Only if you knew how much you mean to me. My eyes lit up at your mere presence, my heart bursts with joy, how beautiful you are , my love of my life!  My arms spread ready to be hugged. You look at me with a dazzling smile, bend down and gently pat my head and pick up your phone and leave the room! I hear you are on a call, laughing and talking to someone, oh how musical is your laughter, I can hear it whole day!

    It’s night, cool breeze is blowing, I want nothing but your warm tender touch. I know you are waiting for me to sleep so that you can again peacefully without any interruption go back to doing what you do, scrolling aimlessly on your phone.You say you are not getting enough sleep, that phone of your’s is the sleep thief.

    It’s heartbreaking that you enjoy the company of that phone more than me,  love it more . A minute of separation from you rises my anxiety, and it does the same to you  when you are away from your phone. You fanatically start searching for it as if your life depends on it. No matter how cute I am, how many time I coo and call you I hold your attention for a few minutes. I envy it . You put me with the other women , the nanny,I don’t have a choice , I can’t fight you and you settle with your phone. I feel jealous of your phone  because you leave me in the room but never forget to leave the room without your phone!

    Yes, I am greedy, greedy for your company, greedy for your love and I don’t want to share you with anyone for you are my Mumma. You say this thing connects people brings people closer, but then why is it keeping you away from me. You can’t tear your eyes away from it, it has got you hypnotized.

    I wish I can be all that holds your attention and never be away from you, which means even if I have to be a phone for you. So that I can be with you all the time very moment when you eat , walk , or even move out of a room.

    Never ending love !

    Your’s,
