A Letter to an Anthropomorphic Personification (Re-post)

It's been a while since we've spoken. I won't lie; I'm not really upset about that. I was happy when we finally parted ways. That I was done with you for good.
But the truth is, sometimes I think about you. I'll see something that reminds me about you. An equation on a chalkboard, a word problem on the SAT homepage, maybe even a simple Rubix cube. I see reminders like these and I wonder what it might have been like if things had been different between us.


We never really did see eye to eye, did we? You used to confuse me with your logic, even though, deep down, I knew you were right. You were always right, and you never lied.


 I'll admit, I undervalued you. I didn't appreciate what you had to offer. I didn't see how we could have a future together.


I tried to understand you, but I just couldn't.



I'll admit, I said some things I probably shouldn't have.


Needless to say, after our stormy time together, I was glad when it was over between us.


Even though we haven't seen much of each other since then, I still sometimes feel the pull of your charms. The power you promise your companions is certainly enticing. I mean, the fact that engineers make robots and spaceships and other cool stuff like that with you is pretty neat.


But whenever I take a glance at you're work, I am reminded of why it just wouldn't work between us.


But I still greatly respect you, and those who get along well with you. But I think I'm going to spend some time with someone I understand and connect with a bit better.
