I want to cry.
I'm going to cry.
Nope. I cant cry.

I cant let this hurt me.
It did hurt me though.
And you know it hurt me.

I shake your hand.
I'm smiling and saying bye.
And my stomachc does flips.

I cant believe you said no.
Even though no one thought so.
But I knew they were wrong.

I clamp my eyes shut.
And my through closes.
Finally I begin to cry.
