"CLOSED" Like a Knife Right Through my Heart...(Pho Le Loi)

After much anticipation,

I finally save up enough money.

I take the bus all the way from p.c.c for my "much deserved lunch" (I knew that if I went, I was not going to make it in time for my evening class)

I get there famished.

I see it unlit and empty, but the little dancing Buddha at the cash register keeps me optimistic, and

then....I see it:

"closed"

my heart drops to the bottom of my feet...

"No, it just can't be"...

I try too open the door, as if there could still be a chance, but like taking the knife out of a deep wound. I think that hurt more.

oh well, maybe next time.
