description:
i had a favorite pair of glasses... glasses that i wore pretty much all the time. we were a team, my glasses and me. we laughed and cried together. i took them to the doctor when they were bent and not feeling well. they helped me read and drive and not get headaches when i stared at a computer screen for too long. they were the best things that ever happened to me.

and then they disappeared on a camping trip.

glasses, wherever you are, i love you. my heart is broken. please find a way back to me

acceptance. there is a hole in my heart without my glasses, but i have come to accept that we have parted ways. i met a new pair of glasses recently, and i think we might be friends. if my former glasses were my romeo, my new glasses are my paris. i don't think romeo would object to giving a tiny piece of love to my paris, a piece of love that my romeo didn't want in the first place. romeo would want me to be happy, i suppose. as for now, i am pressing on.
