I sit on your shelf or possibly in a drawer waiting in the dark, hoping that you'll come along soon, so I'm no longer alone. I only have one true friend, Perfume. Perfume understands what it's like to help humans. We wait patiently on you every morning and night hoping that you'll address us in someway. When you pick us up, the warmth of your hands touches my soul so deeply, which leads me to hope that I provide you with what you provide me. We don't typically speak, but I smile anyway. Just the daily dose of your warmth is enough for me.
The rest of the day is spent talking to Perfume, mostly about when you'll return. Toothbrush and Toothpaste aren't the nicest of roommates as they often complain about their role in your life. Sure, Perfume and I are pretty lucky that we don't have to go inside a mouth or are squeezed, but I don't see what they have to complain about. I mean, they get to be much warmer and much closer than we ever do. My hat is taken off, and I'm put under the arm for such a short time. I barely get any interaction, and Perfume gets even less. At least Toothbrush and Toothpaste get more attention than us.
Who really is the luckiest in our house is Razor. I always hear you singing when Razor is in your hand, and even though I don't understand the words, I imagine what you two could be talking about. Razor gets a daily fifteen minutes in your hands in a warm shower with that sweet voice in his ear. How I wish I could be him! After his daily interaction with you, he always sings some sweet sound, probably what you were singing to him. Toothbrush and Toothpaste hate this part of they day. I'm honestly starting to think they just hate everything. They're always telling Razor to be quiet, but I can only envy how lucky he is to be in your presence.
I don't have much to complain about, however. Perfume and I are doing pretty well, and we're actually getting married really soon. Didn't see that coming, did you? Yeah, well, neither did I when we first met each other, but she's such a lovely woman that I can't imagine my life without her. It's easier to get through life when you have someone you are excited to see, even when you're with each other every day. I'm just simple Deodorant, and she's Perfume, but she has a way to make my life smell sweeter and sweeter every day.
I know it's a bit much to imagine that a deodorant and perfume would fall in love, but their relationship is exactly what I want out of my life- to be with someone who I'm excited to see whenever I have the chance, even if we're together every moment of every day.
