Shine

The story I am going to tell actually happened. It all happened a few weeks ago. I arrived to my office as usual but that morning I woke up in sadness. That is not the fantastic part of the story, that has become quite common for the last years, though that day as specially intense.


I decided to hide the sadness for I am sure everyone is weary of someone always whinning, you see, someone just has to accept his destiny, so I simple acted as I always do. I was polite and smiled and cheered and joked. A couple of hours later a message in the electronic messenger appeared. It was a message from the girl that was, or still is but I am unsure of that, hitting on me. She said "What's wrong with you?" I thought she was imagining things because I was acting quite normal, I did not exaggerate happiness to hide something thus catching someones suspicion nor did I showed sadness. I asked her what made her think something is wrong. She simply answered that my eyes did not shine.

My eyes stopped shinning some time ago. What can someone do about that? When your eyes will not shine. I still wonder how did she realized that, no one else did. No one. I guess I have managed to hide the sadness becasue she has not asked again but it could be that I have manged to distrct her too. We'll see.
