It doesn't work.

Is it so obvious?
That Ms Lin cannot contain herself.

She asked, how's things w him?
Out of nowhere during dept lunch.

Is it so obvious?
That she jumps at my sigh, wanting details.

I've contained it so well, or so I thought.

Is it so obvious?
That Mr Lim opened his consultation services.
Even though I was trying to deviate from topic.

Is it my eyes that gave myself away?
That Mr Lim cared so much to spend an entire morning chiding me.

Thank god for them. And thank god for Leng too.

Is it so obvious?
That even as I try to sound cheerful and agitated,
Leng couldn't discount the fact that i'm so unhappy.

Leng trying to cheer me up with lame jokes,
I think that's rather rare isn't it leng?

Leng correcting my memory,
Reminding me of the past I mis-recall.

Leng being so mummyish,
Listening to every single little woe.

I couldn't thank them more.
For showing care and concern.

I know i'm a strong girl,
And thank you for reminding me, Mr Lim,
That I'm not THAT strong.

Thank you for acknowledging that.
I guess somehow it does help.
To know that I can be weak at times.
That I'm allowed to be so.
