Dear Spectacles,

Am So Sorry for deceiving you!

I never thought I would feel so heartbroken after leaving you.

I still remember , how happy I was when I wore you for the first time. That was long back, when I was in my lower grades . I still remember pacing to and pro in the balcony waiting for my dad , actually I was waiting for you , not for my dad on that day ! As soon as he arrived I grabbed the box dad was carrying, I opened it and immediately placed you on my nose, checking myself in the mirror many times and checking how good I lookeed with you sitting on my nose.

That was the beginning. Years passed by, you never left me. You were there with me all through my comings and goings! Many people came and left in my life but not you! You were with me all through the thick and thin.

The first thing I used to do as soon as I woke up, was to search for you, yes, without you there was nothing I could do! My day used to begin with you and end with you. You were part of my being.

But here comes a day when I need to deceive you , leave you and move on in my life. I’m sorry for being so cruel towards you, ditching you in the middle because the circumstances are like that. You know I never knew how my face would be without you . I don’t even have an idea , how I look without you, but  then, I loved my face , with you sitting on my nose.. I never imagined it without you. You promised me that you would be with me forever, but today, I need to deliberately remove you off my nose. I’m sorry for that. But I need to do it!

You know, today, after opening my eyes, I searched for you on my bed, you were not there and I realized that you won’t be with me anymore and I slowly approached the mirror to look at the real me without your help. For the first time in so many years I have seen my face without you and then I observed everything around me. Everything was clean and clear without you. There was a joy in seeing my image in the mirror without you.

Finally, I’m sorry for deceiving you and I thank you for being with me all these years. As a tribute to you from me, I shall not throw you away, but give you a permanent place inside my drawer.

Yours gratefully,

The 'de-spectacled'.
