My Good Friend, Rose (Colored Glasses)

A few months ago I went online for love. Yeah, I said it!

It didn't work out for me. I dated someone hot and heavy for two months and then he vanished into thin air. He resurfaced a few weeks ago and while I wont get into details lets just say that I probably wont hear from him again.

During my 2 month infatuation I toted my new romance to one of my friends. It was fun, flirty, and full of excitement. It motivated her to get online as well.

Somewhere between the time he slipped into the online abyss and she entered her credit card information for her monthly love subscription, the tables turned.

My door closed and her window opened.

My friend who I often refer to as "rose colored glasses" found a fantastic man who likes her exactly the way she is. It's still early in their relationship and they are learning more and more each day (I know this because I hear it on our way to work, text messages, emails and phone calls).

But I see in her what I see in many.
I see love.

Now what will happen with rose colored glasses? Only she and her guy will know. But I do know that I am truly happy for her and hope I will find the same even if for a short period of time.

If you asked me six months ago I'd be a complete skeptic.
Now I'm a realist.
Love is real.

So here's to my friend Rose and her fantastic glasses. I'm putting my pair on (behind closed doors of course) and I'm excited to see what's around the corner.
