Desktop wallpaper

I've come to realize my ex-boyfriend is like the desktop wallpaper of my mind.

When the computer starts up, the desktop wallpaper is the first thing that appears. All the icons on the screen in front of it are everyday important things I need for daily life, yet the wallpaper is always there in the background. I could change the image, but that one would still be in the memory, because it's somehow built-in, and at some point I'd want to see it again. If I deleted it, the computer wouldn't work the same, something would crash, etc. Sometimes I don't even notice it's there, but then suddenly, I focus on it again.
And when I'm done for the day and ready to go to bed, what's the last thing I see before I shut down everything?  

Yep, you guessed it.
