Farewell, fair friends.

Dear Contact Lenses,

As I packed my bags and got ready to bid bye-bye to Delhi today, for who knows how long, and possibly veryyyy long, I couldn't help but feel nostalgic at the sight of the gaping hole in my toiletries kit where you would normally sit. Oh, you've been such a loyal friend to me for all these years, you were literally my eyes to the world when I couldn't see.

I still remember our first time together! How I nervously, yet trustingly carried you on fingertip up to my face. How you instantly transformed yourself to become part of me. The wonder I felt when I looked up through you for the first time! Heh. I also remember our first all nighter :) how mad you were at me the next morning, shifting around over my cornea, trying to act up to show me I had made a mistake! I'm sorry for all the times I over-used you so, my darlings! But you were always patient, always kind, rarely complaining. How I will miss you!

I may have my eyes back now, but all those years with you will always be special! Pari reminded me the other day how we never got to say a proper goodbye, so before we part I'm gonna christen you! You will henceforth be fondly remembered as Aqueous and Vitreous! :D Heheheeh! How's that for humor, right? :)

Thank you for some amazing years!

Love and lubrication, always.
