    When I realized ac23a48597 that my foolish 91b088bb3c one-sided love had ffff1632f9 been ignored all a50aef581f along, tears began 324c601388 to fill my 56b1e7840a eyes.d323e2be0e22dd29

    The word ‘sadness’ ad45ae3bd5 could not describe 24b4d6941f the emotions that 8bfd664bc8 rolled through me. Along with disappointment, anger, e33add13a4 and betrayal, the small 19d5109a3a seed of hope that 35e3e42725 I had treasured deep ff25dc4a6d inside my heart burst 1f33cf9f0e into flames and turned 92aba1f7a4 to ash. I felt as e80ade83b1 if my entire fcd613f066 body had shattered dc950e8ae0 and was crumbling 6cecb5b5ed down.26caf6972a7f0cff

    In the soap 95a9231fef opera that my da6b07287d mother was in, 31dbf53968 she played a 87f9d7ce3f mother who knelt 0201f80550 in front of 26555961d1 her high school 71a2deecad friend whom she 43bcfc9c26 had looked down 434fd63f06 on for the 976f67ec38 sake of her 5a1b536477 son.
