"long-term" relationship ends

I tried all the possibilities for us to stay together. I knew from the tiny incidents that slowly arose,time will arrive wherein we have to let go each other.Especially so,I can't see and read clearly anymore for many a months.Dear eyeglasses,painful it may seem but I have to say goodbye,to you,my bedmates,my savior,my instruments to see the beauty of letters and TV shows.

Poor me,my visual acuity for both eyes(OU) is 350.:( I was in denial about this,even if everything I see or read from a distance is blurred already. Headaches and a few dizziness bouts I had to endure.I wasn't just ready for a higher "grade." I knew what was about to come. As stage of acceptance entered,I booked an appointment with an ophthalmologist,series of tests were conducted to check my eyes.And there,it's 350.

I keep three spectacles at home.These two are at my bedside.They are my ever reliable "partners." Soon as I get out of my room,I already look for them. They were very loyal to me. I am quite sentimental about them because they have been with me for 10 and 7 years respectively.This thing people find weird ,which I say is true,is that without eyeglasses and contact lenses, I am deaf. I find it hard to hear what others say. Why?? Because I can't see your mouth.Get the logic of it?

I bought new pairs of contact lenses.One pair is clear,the other 1 is cinnamon brown. Inevitably,I had to have a new pair of eyeglasses as well. I went to an optometry shop,asked if they could still use my tried and tested spectacles. They checked them,afterwards they humbly told me it's hardly possible.The screws are all so worn outand the steel component are quite fragile already.Upon hearing this, I felt a little lost.I am weak in goodbyes and letting go. Moreover,I was sad because they heve been very patient with me. They gave me company with the TV programs and DVDs I watched.In those countless days, I was lazy to wear my contacts,they were ever ready to magnify the surroundings around me.I get to see the beauty of life and God's bountiful gifts through them.

I am wearing my new eyeglasses while writing this. We are in a getting-to-kow-each-other phase. I wish you'll stay loyal and patient with me like your predecessors.

To my two old yet reliable and sweet glasses,thank you for your service. I may keep you now in your boxes in the same manner I will cherish the happy and sad moments we spent together in a corner my my mind and heart.
