#  She's in front of me, crying, he just left her, she says…

![“She's in front of me, crying, he just left her, she says he's an idiot, she's an idiot the whole goddam world is an idiot. I say I understand, I know. She looks up and tells me I never could, I have never been in love. But SHE doesn't know, the way you scream and sob in the shower so no one hears…” quote by Anonymous](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/080/anonymous-1_crying_she-s-in-front-of-me-crying-he-just-left_2909245.jpg)   [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/080/anonymous-1_crying_she-s-in-front-of-me-crying-he-just-left_2909245.jpg) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/080/anonymous-1_crying_she-s-in-front-of-me-crying-he-just-left_2909245.jpg)

> “She's in front of me, crying, he just left her, she says he's an idiot, she's an idiot the whole goddam world is an idiot. I say I understand, I know. She looks up and tells me I never could, I have never been in love. But SHE doesn't know, the way you scream and sob in the shower so no one hears, the way you wait until the rest of the house is asleep before you fall apart, the way you smile but you want the world to know your dead inside, the way the days drag on, the way you somehow aways know where is, who he is talking to and the way you hate yourself for caring. I know that feeling, I understand that despair it's just you never asked, never heard my tears, saw past my smile, never watched my face for the hurt. I know the feeling, but you never asked, not once”
