Stoically he sat keeping the tears static in his misty eyes while my tears burst like rain clouds. We let time pass, then rose to leave the theater.

What a resonant image here, Andrea. Ain't it the truth?... Great contest entry, methinks. ~ Gershon

That is the way of it isn't it, Andrea? My husband is the same way, he will sit stoically forbidding the tears that threaten him, and I am like a cloud burst. Of course, I am the kind to cry during moving commercials, at least in the old days when I actually watched tv! I'm a crybaby, so I prefer comedies ;)

Actually. I am the man in this poem. My husband might spill the tears!!
