** This is just a short one-shot that I got an idea from after hearing the song "Lying Blue Eyes" by John Anderson. Enjoy.

Dearest Jenika,

Your blues eyes used to charm me. Thrilled me to the bone. Hypnotized me. Staring into your eyes was like staring at the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean.

For a long time, I loved you. And like a fool, I thought you loved me too. I believed everything that you ever told me.

I heard the rumors but I brushed them aside. Thinking that they were only jealous of our love. If I had only seen what they did. But I was blinded, once again, by your blue eyes.

But as time went by, more rumors surfaced. I fought not to believe them. I fought so hard.

I gave you everything I could possibly give you. My body, my home, my name. Hell, I even pulled some strings and got your album recorded. But yet you wanted more. So I went out on a limb for you and you got the tour manager job.

I quit drinking and even lost weight. Just for you. You were supposed to support me but yet, you drank even more.

Over the past several months, I was sitting alone in a hotel room or on the bus while you were out partying with some of the crew. That time was used to think. My eyes began to open. For the first time, I saw clearly.

The blue eyes that used to take my breath away now leaves me cold.

What a fool I've been!

All the rumors have become a reality.

I'm tired, Jenika. I'm tired of believing in something that never existed in the first place. I'm tired of being used. I'm tired of all the lies. I'm tired of you coming home late with alcohol on your breath and the smell of his cologne.

Yes. I know who it is. It doesn't take much to match the cologne on your body to the cologne that he's wearing. I've smelled it many times when he passes by on the tour bus.

I know the truth. Your blue eyes don't have to lie anymore.

I'm setting you free. Free from the marriage that I thought was made in Heaven but literally came from the pits of Hell.

Don't worry about me. Cause I have news for you.

All those months of you and him sneaking around, leaving me alone. I found someone.

Someone willing to listen. Someone who lent me a shoulder to cry on. Someone who kissed me and told me that everything was gonna be okay.

And you know what? It is.

Because his blue eyes are sincere. His blue eyes don't lie. When he looks at me, I see the love in his blue eyes.

He confessed his love to me. He's loved me a long time. But he didn't want to be the reason for my marriage to fail. He had gone through the pain of a failed marriage and didn't want to see me go through that.

So, I guess I need to thank you and your lying blue eyes. I now know the difference between fake and real love.

Adam gives me the love that I so desperately need. The love that I thought I found in you.

Good Bye, Jenika.

Hope life treats you well.
