I almost embarrassed myself, but it was worth it


Ennis opened the wardrobe and we saw the jacket and the shirt hung on back of the door. Ennis slowly buttoned the shirt. "Jack, I swear." he said, eyes full of tears. And above the shirt, there was that Brokeback mountain post card, slightly faded but still beautiful like a heaven. Right here, without any sign, credit list came out…

Suddenly, a tremendous sadness exploded in my heart and overwhelmed my chest. Tears started pouring out of my eyes so uncontrollably that I had to bent over to rest my head on my knees. But still, the heart-breaking feeling grew bigger and bigger and I was literally cry aloud rather than shedding tears silently. K and other two friends (a straight couple) had already been waiting in the aisle, but I just could not stop. I tried to muffle the weeping sound with my hands, but I guess people around me could still hear me.

About two or three minutes later, K approached and patted on my shoulder. Finally, I managed to suppress the cry and stand on my feet, but the tears were still flowing. Outside of the cinema, there was a big line waiting for the entrance. When I passed by them, I could feel people were looking at me because I was constantly wiping my watery eyes.

Yes, it sounds embarrassing but I don't feel that way. For such a love story, a give-it-all cry is a blessing.
