The art of letting go

We were together for 2 months. I couldn't argue when people say you're like a knight in a shining armor. You're sturdy and I feel like an action star whenever we're together. Even though you have travelled so many miles, you never failed to protect me. You were always there keeping me safe in every turn...every maneuver...everywhere I go.

As much as I want to keep you with me forever, you have to go. Your next rider is waiting for you... there, she's sitting in the waiting area in the black leather seat where I first saw you. She was so delighted when the store rep announced that she'll be having you. I hate to say goodbye...but I have no choice. I also overheard that you'll be going to Iowa with your new driver. Be mighty and proud as you travel...Keep her safe...just like the way you kept me safe for all those times.

This morning, as I walked to the parking lot, I searched for you. But you weren't there. I feel like missing you.

Bye, bye, Camry.

I returned my car to the leasing company last Saturday. As always, the acceptance and letting go was very hard...
