When I was busy tidying up your belongings left in my house, I found there was something that I couldn’t give it back to you. It was the prescription glasses that you bought for me last year.
It was so comfortable that I had never felt its existence on my face. I had got used to view the world through it. It has helped me a lot to appreciate the beautiful things and figure out the insincere eyes around me. That was quite similar to the help you had given me in my lifetime. It’s you who had taught me to love others and to be loved by others. But, you didn’t teach me how to stay together with you forever as you yourself didn’t know either. We just took our ways separately and the life goes on. Something has changed and others have been forgotten. But the eyeglasses you gave me last year has been with me all the time. It reminds me of our love in the old days.
During the summer vacation, you have found the eyeglasses for the first time on www.glassespeople.com and you have deeply impressed by its fashionable design and its reasonable price. You booked one online secretly for me. When my 21th birthday came, you gave it to me as a birthday present. At that time, I was somewhat annoyed when receiving such a practical birthday present from my boyfriend. But, I did not show my disappointment and pretended delighted to receive the eyeglasses. Several days after I have worn the pair of glasses, I found it was a not bad gift if not a perfect one as it was very comfortable for me. Wearing it, I have never feel eye aching or tired. And through it, I can see the world clearly. Now, I cannot live without the eyeglasses you gave me.
You were quite similar to the eyeglasses as practical, comfortable and considerate. You have given me a lot of help before. With your hand, I see the world outside. I even depended and relied on you on many things. I admit that it was a perfect life for me to be together with you. But, I want to see the world on my own and walk outside of the world full of you. It is not because I don’t love but because it’s time for me to live my life myself. Fortunately, I have learned to live without you.
You kept asking me why we could not stay together as we still loved each other. By now, we have not figured out what was wrong between us. Maybe, it does not matter at all at this moment. Nevertheless, I would keep you in my mind and the eyeglasses you gave me forever.
