You still let me wipe away your tears,
In much the same way as you would,
As you do,
When you notice mine sometimes,
I was holding your hand and I felt your heart beating,
I saw your eyes and beheld the wonder,
Watched as the tear rolled down the side of your face in the darkness,
And I traced its line with my finger,
You blinked and smiled,
A smile of so many memories,
So many tears,
And such a sweet smile.
