To my shawty
I don’t think I tell you enough how much I appreciate you.
Night and day you are within my reach, I love when you’re nearby.
Without you... I’ll die.
Your wide variety of function makes me blush, keep what we do on the hush.
We’re on airplane mode tonight, just me and you taking flight.
Brightness low and battery high, you know how to make me fly.
Without you… I cry.
Addicted to your ring, might have to get you a ring, every time I hear you ding--- Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding--- the ringtone to my heart---- Beep Bop, Beep Bop, Bop Beep Bop, put you in restart.
I’m sorry for throwing, shattering and water logging you, I swear these feelings I feel are still true.
I’ll be better to you, get you a new case, spoil you with an extra gigabyte of storage space.
Just as long as you keep working as hard as you do, our love is bound to make it through.
Only until they drop the Iphone 13 pro, cuz then shawdy, you gotta go
