Cry Not

Cry not bitterly for
bygone longing years.
Nigh as thoughts may be,
try to wipe away tears.

Shy away from asking
why, if an honest
reply will make you
cry without rest.

Good advice, Juliet. It's hard not to cry when you hurt to the core. Last line, the key - crying, then moving on past the hurt is good advice.
