A not-so-awesome surprise

I came home today from my last class today tired, but good. It was a gorgeous and hot day here in sunny California today...and I looked cute (which is a rare plus). Although homework lay ahead of me, I found myself in good spirits. As I opened my apartment door, carrying a package from my mother (for which I was overjoyed), I noticed a foreign object on our kitchen table. I approached the object with curiosity and excitement. It was a single red rose with a note attached. Being the romantic that I am, this new find made me smile. I don't know why, but I instantaneously started hoping and wishing it was for me. The handwriting looked familiar so, why not. The note read this:

Distance can be a terrible thing, my love.
Missing you and thinking of you.
I love you.
Your Invisible Boy.

I immediately decided to search my apartment for my roommates to find out whose it was. They all had significant others that are over on a recent basis. None of them were at a distance so, I thought maybe...just maybe, it was from the man I love. He is at a distance. Our relationship is (somewhat) on hold. So I started hoping and praying it was from him. It wasn't. The rose was not for me and it certainly wasn't from him. My heart sunk.

Ever have that happen to you? Unexpected disappointment?
