If You Really Want Something

When the person you want some-very important-thing from is standing in front of you humbled and a glimpse of understanding about the importance of that something to you crosses their face...  (And this something you want is something that would benefit both of you.  And this something you want is something you knew they would never be able to offer you, but you stay anyway.)...  And this something you want is FINALLY offered to you by that person....don't say, "oh sure, I'll believe it when I see it" and walk off in a pouty huff.  Because, you probably just blew your shot at getting that something you really wanted.
