Rose-colored Glasses
Description
He was not necessarily a bad guy. But, he was not a good one either. At least, for me.
Baekhyun was my ex-boyfriend. We met when we were both freshmen at college. He was the perfect picture of what a boyfriend would be. He was tall, hot, smart, funny. Just charming. And, it didn't help that he also played piano and sang well. Oh, and he had black belt in taekwondo too. He was just, perfect. He was perfect. He was everything. And, the way I see it now, my world literally revolved around him.
We broke up after we graduated. It was a clean break up. We both decided to end things well between us, because both of us was not up for a long distance relationship and he was set to pursue MBA in UK right after graduation.
Five years has passed since he left, I have been living my life and I can proudly say that my life revolves around my own self, not someone else anymore. I am not the same person I was five years ago and I am glad for it. I am a successful self-made woman. And, except the fact that I have been single these past five years, I think it's fair to say that my life is perfect. Because, you know, I am very good at being comfortable with my own self. Plus, I have two suitors in line to spice up some romance in my life. I am not bragging. It's true. My life is perfect. Nothing I can't handle.
Well, until Baekhyun came back.
And, trying to get back to my life.
And, shakes some things up.
And, makes me question my self.
But, I am not the same person as I used to.
And, I am not dumb enough to fall into the same hole twice,
am I?
Foreword
I used to wonder why there are things that if anyone, but you, said would upset me
I used to wonder why I didn't get hurt by your piercing words and only took it as you being you and you meant well
Turned out I had been looking at you through a rose-colored glasses the whole time
But, now, I know better
And, I am not making the same mistake
"But these rose colored glasses
That I'm looking through
Show only the beauty
'Cause they hide all the truth" - John Conlee
