I Hope You Know What It Means

I hope it's alright to see you cry sometimes and not interrupt.

I hope you know,

When those tears roll down your cheeks

They are your own

Tightly hugging onto you

While carrying this heavyweight.

With each drop

Holding onto memory for awhile.

You see, crying doesn't make you forget

But it does lessen this pain a bit,

It does give you time to sit still and breathe.

You would get it

If you have actually thought about the pain

It's everywhere.

Especially when you love someone.

Almost as if, to love is to feel pain

And when you realize it

You already would have cried a million times before.

So, I hope it's alright to see you cry sometimes and not interrupt.

Because no matter, how much I love you

There are things in which I can't help

And that is when I cry the most

And as they roll down my cheeks in despair

I hope you know what it means to cry

I hope you see those tears the way I do.
