Hey Hive, how are things? We haven't really had any time to sit and chat for a while, you and I. I mean, we've waved in passing, given a respectful head nod across the room, and I've talked at you a little bit lately, but we haven't really had a conversation.

I know we've had some time apart, and that when most couples take some time off, that ends in a break-up. Well, I have to tell you that this isn't over. As I've said from the beginning, I'm here for the long haul. 'Til the bitter end baby, no restraining order can stop my love.

I know, I know, I've been cold and distant. I'll admit that. I have no excuses. Maybe we should have had this conversation when I first started talking again. Due to the unconventional nature of our relationship, I just won't be able to make you #1 in my life all the time. You'll always be my #1 online experience, and I'll tell that to anyone who will listen.

I almost forgot, I got you some flowers. You still like sunflowers, don't you? I'm not trying to buy your affection, they just... made me think of you.

So, I think we both know things will be a little different going forward. I'm going to be more open, more personal, and you... well you're perfect. In fact I should say that you've done quite well for yourself while I've been silent. I know it wasn't for me, but still, it looks nice on you.

No, I didn't just come crawling back because you're a little more attractive right now. Honestly, I'm surprised you would even suggest such a thing. You should know by now that your price means nothing to me. If anything, the extra attention just means more competition. It's okay, I can handle a little pressure. I'm ready to really be what you want.

I'm a little hurt, but I still want to give you these.

I know we can work this out. I can't promise that I'll never have another dry, preachy post... but I know I can cut back. I will cut back. I'm going to keep my media more... social. I mean, that's what you seem to want. I may be slow, but I can take a hint.

Yes, yes, I know I mostly just need to be around more. I will be. I may lose a little of my... finesse. I'll definitely talk about myself a lot more. I will be here, though. I'll show up.

I want you to know, nobody else got my attention. I spent all that time away taking care of me. I said you were my #1 online, and I meant it. I love you Hive, I really, really do. You don't have to pay the bills, or buy me nice things. I love you for you.

I know I'm going a little overboard, but I also got you these.

I'm really glad we had this talk. Thank you for listening, and for hearing me. I'm really excited to see where this goes as we move forward. I'll miss you too.

Bye for now!
