How has technology affected your relationship?

Negatively.

I used to watch the numbers ticking over on your Snapchat score knowing that my notifications stayed bare.

I hated the day Snapchat took away top friends as I wasn't able to excessively stalk yours and see my self slip.

From first,

To second,

To third.

To just another one on the list.

What was that? 31 now?

How could I even be 31 on the list when I spent every moment with you.

I used to justify the fact that I spent all this time with you and that I didn't need to be snapped every moment of every day.

But for some reason she did.

She needed to be snapped every day.

She was as important to you as this app was to me.

I let this app control me however this app was the only thing that was ever truthful in our relationship.

I just didn't want to hear it.

Positively.

I woke to a warm hug and a moment of peace before my day started.

I woke to a phone screen in my face, your phone screen.

I woke to an open and honest moment where there was nothing to hide.

I woke to you.

There you were with your open arms and even wider heart. With an unlocked phone and a certainty that I was your girl.

You will never believe what that did to me or how much power that placed back into me.

I trust you.

I trust in your text messages.

I trust in your calls.

I trust in your Instagram posts

And,

I trust in your snapchats or your lack off.

I know that an app doesn't control you and because of you an app doesn't control me either.
