"I over reacted."

I don't know if I should come back or if I can ever make myself comeback. Two months ago, I stormed out the library accusing her of being rude and I never came back. The semester is almost over and I'll never see her again if I don't make a move. I don't even know if I should see her.

During those two months, I learned many things about her from a friend, a mutual friend. It was then that I understood everything.

"I will not come back... unless I learn her language."

"Not the language with a pen and a piece of paper."

"But the language of emotions and signs."

"Her language of smiles and gestures."

Many people have done that to me. I guess I will always destroy their expectations.

But this is me... Or... This is what I'm not. What I can't do.

If only I can speak to them the way they speak to me.

It's painful. However, I need to focus there are more important matters.

I looked at the Library's entrance...

I stared...

I waved...

I smiled.
