Your words stabbed my heart, and I cried tears of pain. "Get out!" I shouted "These are the last tears i'll ever
cry for you." So you left.
I waited hours, but you didn't return. That night by myself
I cried tears of frustration.
I waited weeks, but you had nothing to say. Thinking of your voice, I cried tears of loneliness.
I waited months, but you left no sign for me. In the depths
of my heart, I cried tears of despair.
How strange that all these tears could not wash away the hurt! Then one thought of love pierced my bitterness.
I remembered you in the sunlight, with a smile as sweet as May wine. A tear of gratitude started to fall, and
miraculously, you were back. Your soft fingers touched
my cheek.
"Why have you come?" I whispered. "To wipe away your last tear," you replied. "It was the one you saved for me."
