Emotional Upgrading

if only emotional logic was as solid as a computer program

I don't have a mute function on my heart.
I have a live-and-let-live sequence, I have a forgive-and-forget algorithm.
My emotions come in five-point surround sound with widescreen imagination, but no mute function.
It just runs on automatic no way to take control even if you wanted to.
What then should I do when my mind and my heart stop being compatible?

You see, I've got this new program in my heart.
She augments with every beat, but she makes my logic go blue screen.
And just as soon as I reboot my judgment, there she is, overloading my systems.

Now, it's not just that she makes me want to boot up the hard drive OH NO! IT'S FAR WORSE THAN THAT!
She is like AOL! Just when I think I've got her out of my system, she still has my homepage.
And as soon as I redirect my homepage, I get a pop-up asking if I'd like to register my love for her.

I'd call tech support, but really, when has that ever done any good?

Each morning, she is my startup screen, and at night, she is my shutdown noise.
I run simulation after simulation where I plug my connector into her port,
uploading and downloading, until we both crash our operations
into a lump of cuddling and cigarettes.

I have tons upon tons of mockups of us holding hands, talking, laughing "just being together.

I can't delete heartware. It just doesn't work that way.
I try to drink enough booze to delete some brainware,
but we all know what alcohol can do to your emotional processors.

All I can do now is wait for this program to become outdated.
Wait… or kiss her square on the lips.

Either way,
I'm totally terrified.
