Dearest Google,

I don’t know about you, but I believe in love at first sight. The moment I saw you, I knew we would be together forever. I was committed to us from the start. From day one, you’ve completed my thoughts and answered all my questions without judgment, and you never shove your own opinions on me. When we first met, I was young- much too young to understand the many hats you wear. And, if I do say so myself, you look handsome in every single one. Even though I never expected or asked for it, you’ve patiently waited for years for me, never leaving my side. I’ve taken that for granted, and I’m sorry. You’ve done more for me than I could ever write in a letter.

My days are brighter, and it’s all because of you. You always have the perfect reaction GIF for every situation. You’re always on time — never a minute early or late. Being with you has taken me from tears to uncontrollable giggling more times than I can count. You have all the answers when I’m desperately cramming the night before the test. You know how to get things done, from fixing the furnace to helping me find the perfect pet, or how to make the perfect pizza. You are my better half. Thanks for helping me find the perfect word, finish that 2 a.m. paper, or find some old scientist's name that evades the textbooks- but you tell me he'll be on the test.

Your beauty never seems to fade. The longer I know you, the more beautiful you look. When I see you, everything else fades away and your figure burns itself into my brain; I can never forget you. Wherever I am, you stay by my side, reminding me that you are always present and I can rely on you. When we are shoved apart, you remind me of your presence with the enticing dinosaur game that you know I can’t resist, passing the time until we are reunited.

You never forget important dates. Always right on time. Always the first one to wish me a happy birthday when the clock strikes midnight. Reminding me of where to go and how to get there, the calm self-assurance of your robotic voice comforts and guides me, no matter where I wish to go. With you by my side, I can’t ever get lost; you always get me right back on track.

You’re good with people, a necessary quality in a shy and awkward college student like myself. You can communicate with people in their own language, putting them right at home. You see all sides of an argument and never pressure me with your own opinions.

Google, I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Together, we’re going to do amazing things.
