i've got a buddy by the of name jack and lately he's been telling me everything about his love life. he used to tell me the exciting s*x they would have and how she was when it came to treating him like a man. to me she wasn't all that but to him a scrawny chick with a marble eye was good enough. i have to admit, i was happy for him.
you see our life growing up together, hes had it hard with the girls. jack was borned with two wondering eyes, in other words the son of a ***** is cross eyed. that never bothered me much except for the first time i met him at the school bus stop in 7th grade. i was just standing there talking to the girls and flirting with them. as the bus arrived and the door slamed open, i made my way to my seat and this weird kid comes and sits right next to me. he introduced himself and we exchanged names. i didn't notice anything at first but he started to compliment me about how much game i had with the girls and that if it was cool for me to teach him a few lines so he can start hooking them in too. he kept on talking and talking but he wasn't looking at me. so i got pissed and said " hey! if you ever want to talk to somebody and to want their full attention, you gotta look them in the face and make some eye contact. no wonder you have problems with the girls." he got quiet and says" i..i was looking at you." that's when i noticed the kid was sloppy eyed. the years went by and now we were in our twenties. i guess he's a swell guy to hang out with but back to the love life of jack.
so nowadays he and his girl are having problems and he's constantly needing my consultation on what to do. i just tell him to be patient and listen to the girl and stuff like that. then one day at work he doesn't come up and say anything to me. he's not saying nothing to anyone. this is strange. the guy usually will stop anyone who happens to accidently walk by and yap the ears off of them. this time i can see the depression in him by the way how his head was hanging between his shoulders.
i couldn't stand it anymore, so i approach him and ask. he just looked at me with tears that he was trying hard to hold back and tells me that she had left him. i asked "what was her reason, did she say?" he says quietly, sniffing his nose "she says that it is just better for us to be apart because she just now realized that we were never able to see each other eye to eye."
