yesterday at work, I took refuge in my friend's office, where I am advised one of the saddest things I've ever heard:
me (tears): okay .. so I am having a slight emotional thing. I'm going to sit here with my back to the window, you just ignore the tears and look like you're talking to me. (waterworks wide open)
him: uh.. fidget fidget *talking nonsense just to look like he's talking to me* (he was quite the trooper for about 10 minutes)
me (finally): okay (voice still a lil catchy) I think the involuntary tears are done (we laugh a lil bit at my comment)
he wants to know what the he££ is up, so I tell him.. blaa, blaa, blaa..at the end I say;
me: lord. it's been a good minute since I've shed tears like this..
him: (he looks really hard at me for a second): Kimmy, it's b/c you still have 'hope'.. that little bit of hope that someone's not going to let you down.. you're just not jaded enough.
me: stupid hope. *deep, teary sigh*
