The first time I don’t know why Joe is so often placing her palm over her nose, her palm flat, left and right hands fingers meet. It was pretty dark, the place we meet, I can’t really see her face. A couple of minutes later there’s this answer to my curiosity.
“I really miss her… I’m all void… I can’t bear this anymore…” Joe squeaks meekly. Joe is toned and sturdy. Wears manly shirt and a pair of nice Birkenstock. Hair is cropped and neatly waxed and combed. Strong jawline. And now she’s closing her face with her hands, shoulders up and down. Golly, I say to myself, she’s crying. Nothing’s wrong with crying, as a matter of fact crying is a very healthy release for the broken-hearted. But seeing manly Joe crying is really astounding. And not mentioning it’s on public.
“Why she must leave me… why… I’ve done so much for her..!” Joe whined louder in between teary sniffs. People start to look us, puzzled. They’re looking at me accusingly, they must be thinking what this girl has done to her unfortunate boyfriend. I suppress a sinful desire to laugh. But I don’t, instead I lean and hold her hand. Joe continues sobbing.
I once read that the grief from separating from your partner is even greater than the pain of having one of your closest relative died. So I completely understand why sturdy Joe is having a breakdown. But I personally also think that if you are grieving, do it gracefully. Show the world that you are okay, save your tears and the much-needed, self-pity whimpers in a closed room. Your ex girlfriend might crush your heart into pieces, but don’t let her makes you loose your poise too. She doesn’t worth it. Repeat after me: She doesn’t worth it. Good.
