Furareta Tsugi no Hi Tomodachi To

Yesterday I confessed my feelings and got rejected. I cried and cried until I was exhausted and fell asleep. I woke up feeling terrible not wanting to see anyone. But I had plans to meet a friend today. I almost cancelled. But I thought I would feel even worse alone. I dragged myself up took a shower and picked out clothes. I hid my swollen eyes with makeup. When I got to the meeting spot my friend waved with a smile. They asked if I was okay and I told them everything. They just listened quietly. Then they said "you did great." That one line almost made me cry again. I am glad I came out. I am glad I did not hold it in alone. Even the day after rejection there are moments when you can smile.
