Crying in the Rain

Hey Dear, today I visited Vivian, your favourite hairdresser at Jean Yip Vivocity to cut my hair, really short this time. Remember.. you specially bought her Roche chocolate while we were shopping for Christmas pressies at Vivocity last Christmas?

When I talked to her about you, she teared. She remembered you as a cheerful personality. You never complain about your work as a teacher and she remembers the sparkles in your eyes when you talked about your students and of course, me. Thanks to the lasting impressions you left in so many people around you, she remembers, ever so fondly, of your smiles, encouraging words and positive outlook in life.

She told me things that I'd otherwise never get to know. She tells me that you'd patiently wait for me to get off work to meet you at Vivocity; wilding your time away window shopping, reading at cafes, not wanting to rush me away from work. You'd share your worries about me having to work late and not getting enough sleep often. You sign up the treatment package with Jean Yip after making sure that I can also share the package with you in treating my scalp problems... etc etc.

As I drove home, it was raining.. as much as I want to control, I erupted again.. this time round, luckily again, in the sanctum of my car. I switched to the usual album which I always play over and over again in my car and selected the song which most represents my feeling at that point in time.. Crying in the Rain by Aha.

I'll never let you see, the way my broken heart is hurting me. I got my pride and I know how to hide, all my sorrows and pain, I'll do my crying in the rain.

Of course, not as dramatic as the song goes, I did not stop the car and step out of it, to drown my sorrows and tears in the heavy rain. What I needed to do most then was to rush back home and do my crying in the shower instead. Don't laugh at me again, I'm a cry baby, all thanks to you! You take care:)

======================================================
I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
But since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
