life in the toybox

Isnt it amazing how no matter how old you are,
You still keep some of the same habits of a young child.
You remind me of a little child.
A 21 year old little child.
You have a favorite toy,
And this toy you play with everyday.
Every single minute of everyday.
You devote your life and love to it.
You say you could never have another toy like it.
This toy means the world to you.
But then all of a sudden something changes.
You see a new toy.
And you want that one.
So you 'put the other one aside for a while'(yes, you actually used those words)
And devote all your time to the new toy.  
Then when your mom says that your room is a mess,
You open the toy box and see the old toy sitting there.
And you remember the fun the two of you had together.
And all of a sudden you want to play with it again.
And the toy has no control over it.
And besides, who really cares how that toy feels.
Its just a toy, right?
No feelings. No pain.
It just enjoys the fact that it is wanted once again.
But, God, I can't be that toy this time.
I do have feelings.
I do have pain.
And I can't be happy that you want me once again.
Because I know what will happen.
You will get bored.
You will find a new toy,
And I'll be by myself,
sitting all alone in the toy box.
