When your tear
ducts use up pretty much most of your bodily fluids,
you get up, stuffy nose and red-rimmed eyes and all, and you
pour yourself a glass of water and drink it with the anguish of
one Who Has Lost It All. When you find yourself in the dire
need to pee you push yourself to the bathroom, and
–although you may find yourself not caring enough about
closing the door (and thus having a very awkward encounter with
your mother you have trouble forgetting in the next few years)
you pee, and it's an enough of a relief for you to not cry
while peeing.
The whole crying period generally lasts a week, perhaps two if
you really liked that person, and the pain a couple of
months, and then all you're left with is a dry and bitter
feeling, which you're more than ready to accept after
spending a whole month draining your seemingly drowning heart,
and suddenly you can breathe, and it's all empty
but it's all good- will be good. You are
fine.
