Edition #13

This night I worked the whole night through and I only came home very early in the morning. Totally exhausted I dropped myself on the couch, which was when my daughter came to me. She was already awake. I put her on my knee and then she asked me “What’s wrong, daddy?”

I laid my head on her shoulder and then she whispered something to me. What she said was so sweet. “Daddy, why are you crying?” she said. “Don’t cry! Only dumb people cry, right?”

She’s one of the two people who can always make me feel better whenever I feel down. The other one is my girlfriend. She lives somewhere in the poor part of town. Sometimes I go to her, when I need her. We make love, we drink and we talk about everything and nothing.

If she sees that I’m having a hard time she tells me that I can always come to her if I want to talk. “But don’t cry,” she says, “because crying is only for dumb people.”

I listen a lot to those two girls. When I’m home alone and they’re not with me, I often think about them. “Crying is only for dumb people,” I hear them whispering in my ear. I sniff my tears away, because they’re right. Crying is only for dumb people…
