A drop of water

What would a tear in the eye depict? My eyes water not on glee or wrath but because of the elements of nature. Being the owl-eyed lass I am everything goes straight in there: be it a heavy gush of wind, warm winter sun or just a bright sunny day my eyes water for unknown reason and on-lookers have a chance to pity me for being teary eyed. It happened this morning when there was a howling wind and I was running to catch my train. I did eventually rolled on to the train but was somehow blind for a second because my eyes were filled with water. It is one of those days when I had not refilled my hand bag tissues and had nothing but my shirt sleeve to dry my eyes.

I had sympathetic on-lookers trying to think about a sane reason why I might be crying my eyes out on a train in full public view of about a hundred passengers. I had no plausible reason except to play the part and gain sympathy – “little attention seeking me” at eight in the morning eyeing the handsome man who was standing next to me. It is amazing how non interested souls become attentive to human emotions or a sign of emotion rather than actual humans. My eyes eventually dried out and the good looking man got out at the next station – journey continued…
