Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.

You see that gruff-looking man on the bus seat across?
Yeah, him.
He looks so gruff because he doesn't want to get attached to people.
He learned that early on - in junior high, when all the dating and drama started.
He had a few girlfriends before discovering just how fake and useless all that was.
He always got hurt in the end. Someone else might have struck back, but he was raised well.
So he just subdued himself. Yeah, subdued is the right word.
And he crushed his emotions under his heel for 20 years. And that's why he looks so gruff.
But it's been those 20 years. He's 39, still single. Lonely.
And then soon, he'll realize he went too far.
He'll realize that, sometimes, love is worth the trouble.
