Swollen Eyes

She stared.
"Your eyes look puffy, swollen"
I yawned and replied "eh, I think it's from sleeping.. in the morning they're puffy.."
Mom says "yeah, my eyes get like that too, it'll probably go away later"
I wander to a mirror, where I look and they indeed are. I touch them lightly with my fingertips, and then know why it was so hard to open my eyes that morning.
Upon staring in the mirror, I remembered. I had been crying all the night before. "oh.." And there went the theory of swollen eyes in the morning.
