I looked into the car that next to mine when I stopped for traffic light. I don’t usually look into people’s car like that but something just caught my eyes. I saw a lady crying in the car. She was sitting next to the driver (which was a guy). No facial expression but can only see tears rolling down from her eyes. I don’t know why I looked at her for as long as 5 seconds. I know I shouldn’t look like that. May be she was wearing sunglasses and that made me felt ‘ok’ to look at her without any eye contact. I don’t know if she was looking at me too.
I sped off as the light turned green. The car was behind me. I looked at the rear mirror and I can still see the lady facing the left window. Obviously she didn’t move at all the whole time. I felt sad and I can’t stop thinking about her. How can a person cries in such a calm way? She reminded me of myself crying in the car for several times. Not sure if others looked at me as I looked at her too. There were times that I cried when I was walking on the street, shopping mall and restaurants, sitting in the car and etc. I can’t remember what made me so sad that I had to cry in public places but I am very sure that I didn’t have any choice but to let go my tears. Some people asked why I cried over certain things. I hate to cry too but it is something that I can’t stop. I cry because I am hurt or sad. I do not have switch that I can turn my tears on or off just like that. I wish I have switches too!
I am not sure if I know what the lady in the car was thinking at that time. But for me, I see cars, building and people passing by very quickly while my mind is filled with confusion, questions may be, hatred, etc. It is always at the end of the journey, only I realise how wet my face and my shirt is.
