Heartbroken Young Man Sits Crying in the Middle of the Road Before Dawn

That is love: at times it fills us with happiness, but when it changes, it can leave us heavy-hearted with pain. And it is not always women who get hurt – however strong a man may be, there comes a time when love makes him weak too.

It seems almost every adult has at some point known the pain of heartbreak, of being rejected by someone they wanted to be with. How we get over that pain depends on each person's resilience. Some suffer silently inside, some turn to drink, and some simply sit and cry helplessly to ease the overwhelming sorrow...

Recently, a picture of a young man sitting and crying in the middle of the road late at night over a broken heart has been circulating on social media and causing a stir. A Facebook user named D.T posted two photos he had taken late at night on a community forum, with the caption: "A sad story before dawn. A heartbroken young guy has been sitting here crying from 10pm until 2:30am and still hasn't gone home. When I went over to ask, he just looked up without answering, his eyes brimming with tears."

In that moment, the young man had cast aside all his strength and paid no attention to his motorbike left standing in the road; all he knew was that crying was the only thing he could do.

Below the two moving photos, netizens left their comments. Some expressed sympathy for the young man, having been heartbroken themselves and knowing his pain all too well. Others were curious about which girl had made a young man like him shed such tears.

Alongside the sympathy and curiosity came some very practical remarks, such as "Watch your bike, mate!" and "Keep an eye on that bike, or tomorrow it'll be a combo: lost your girl and lost your wheels". There was also some heartfelt advice urging him to go home, stop tormenting himself and be strong enough to get through it.

That is what one small post shared with the online community. Nobody knows how the young man will be tomorrow morning, but the post reminded its readers that there are still many heartbreaking love stories in this world.
