BRUISED

Peripheral Eye View is part of the vision that occurs outside the center gaze. It enables us to see our surrounding without even twisting our heads. It is human's secret weapon and shield.

But yesterday, I wished I was crossed-eyed.

I was in a very excruciating situation - you wanted to not notice things around you but you can't, because it still registers at the side of your eyes; you wanted not to hear things around you, but that noise stands out; you wanted to not feel pain, but the fact you know it's there, you can't just not never mind it. I wanted to escape, but there were no exits.

And that excruciating situation made me strengthen my stand. Because that very "view" proved me of a relationship that I can't afford to destroy. A love that, yes, I envy but I am glad it is theirs. A loving relationship that I can't have - definitely accepted.

I heard stories which prove that I was nobody. I was not special because he is naturally that way. Knowing my personality and point of view, I would have cursed him to hell. But I can't, because I still believe and trust in the kind and sweet friend that I found in him.

I closed my eyes. Sleep. Opened my eyes. Woke-up.

I am happy, I am supposed to be happy. I might have bruised my heart again for NTH TIMES already, but hey! Remember, just a bruise. At least I know now where to pass to avoid getting tripped again.
