My goodness, has it really been 4 years already?  It’s hard to believe that we just met 4 years ago on Christmas, and I held you in my loving arms.  I’m sorry that it has come to this, I really am.  We were getting along together so nicely, being together, being in each other’s arms.  I loved waking up in the morning and seeing you there, glowing, and happy to see me.

I’ll try not to cry, and I want you to be strong, too.  No, no, it’s best that we part ways here; I know that we will be together, someday.  You were with me all throughout those years in college, and I can’t thank you enough for that.  You held me in my darkest hours, were a source of laughter, of sadness.  I won’t forget all of the memories we have had together.

I can’t believe that we can no longer be together, and although I didn’t want for it to end, I know that it was for the best.  When I inserted the Windows XP Pro disk to reformat your harddrive, I knew that I was taking a piece of you, and wiping you clean, forever.  You will be much faster, and not bogged down with so many programs this time, my Dell 600M Laptop, and I promise to keep you cleaner this time.

It’s better this way.
