Unfaithful

Dear Tilex:

First, I want to start by telling you, I am sorry. I know actions speak louder than words, but please know I am ashamed of myself and what I did to you. I never, in a million years, thought I would ever turn to another. I was wrong.

I'd like to blame it on Billy Mays' powerful marketing persuasion, but I know I need to take responsibility for my own actions. I've seen what your love can offer me, a future of cleanliness; all others pale in comparison.

It all began with you leaving me. I could tell you had nothing left in you, you were wasted and needed to be renewed by my trust and loyalty. I got in my car and headed to the store. I still remember when I made that mistake. You were waiting for me to pick you up, and that's when I met him. Mr. Kaboom. He promised me he would be 100% tough and power through soap scum... I should have known he was lying, he just wanted me to hurt you.

It wasn't long before I realized he just couldn't make me happy. His bright purple exterior a facade for weakness. I told him it was over (but I promise you, Tilex, it never really began) I came back to you immediately, even bought you in economy size to show you I am in it for the long haul.

Why won't you look at me? Please, stop ignoring me! You are just going through the motions in this relationship now. Please don't give up on us. I have seen the way you can clean, and I know you still have it in you. Can we please give it one more shot?

You know my past history with others; Shower Clean; a complete disappointment, Comet; had no substance what-so-ever and The Magic Eraser only wanted to be held and rubbed. You.Complete.Me.

Tiley, I am so sorry. You are the only one who has ever "done it for me" you defend me against scum. Can we please start over?

I love you always,
Jessi
