stood there alone

while she w-a-i-t-e-d

for,him

.

And S. H. E.

stood there w.a.i.t.i.n.g.

,

[hearing] the whisperers

who

'talk' about him and her

.

And at that point,

.

And S. H. E.

the words of the whisperers

finally

And now,

.

But S. H. E. couldn*t stand him anymore.

S. H. E. tried not to cry.

.

Because S. H. E. would not shed more t'e'a'r's'

for him
