the harder they CRY.
My last significant other is six feet six inches tall, 280 pounds.
He can't accept that I can't deal with ANY "romantic" anything (might I EVER?? Right now I don't care).
He persists in calling to tell me he loves me.
And cries. Silent. Tears unbidden.
Not begging or any crap like that.
Just cries because it hurts so much.He doesn't know he is crying not because he loves me and can't have me, but because he is scared to death of being alone, of growing up from the three year old he stopped maturing emotionally at.
That, my friends, is not an insult. It is a factual statement. Borne up by his shrink and therapist.
And it is sad.
However, Susan, I agree with your assessment, levity and all.
