Never thought the day would come. I shall never forget that evening. Your hands reached out for mine. You squeezed them a little tighter than usual. I could not bear to look at you. The thing was, I could not bring myself to look into your eyes. My tears were already welling up uncontrollably. My heart was aching terribly. I was crying inside. Then you bent towards and kissed me on the cheek. This was too much for me to handle. I could not hold the tears any longer. I managed to turn my head away from you before strands of tears flowed down on my face. I told myself I must never let you see me let down any tears. But you knew, you knew. This was not the usual goodbye kiss you gave me. This was different. It felt different. This was the last.

Hours, days, weeks and eventually months went by. I stopped counting the days when it came to four months. Ironically, serious tears shedding only occurred in the first two weeks. I realised you were not worth my tears and the emotional pain and turmoil endured. Simply occasional triggered-memories were the culprit to the let down of the pearly tear drops.
