I always come across this certain jigsaw puzzle when I clean my room. And I've always put it back where it was, not deciding when to frame it up, or find the missing pieces. Until a thick layer of dust collected over it, I still, did not do anything about it.

A 500 piece jigsaw puzzle. You would know why I bought it in the first place. Because of Disney Princess. I purchased a pink coloured frame along with it, but the protective plastic sheet broke so I couldn't frame it the minute the puzzle was completed. So I left the puzzle on top of my bookshelf for months.

But today, I made a decision. I took the puzzle off the shelf and thought hard for a long time. I decided to throw it away.

He was supposed to do the puzzle with it, but he didn't. Not because he didn't want to, but because we didn't have a chance to. I embarked on it first and completed within a day. He was supposed to buy a new frame for it, but he didn't. And I simply refused to shop for the frame alone because I felt strongly that we should buy it together since we didn't manage to do the puzzle. With the missing pieces, I just didn't have the heart to frame an unperfect jigsaw picture. People don't frame jigsaw puzzles with missing pieces.

Moreover, our relationship is nearwhere perferct, in fact, non-existent anymore. Why should I cling on to the past when he does not even blink an eye and look back?

A tribute to the painstakingly completed Disney Princess puzzle.
