Love Cry

Happening when I
	least expect it,
the love cry comes.

Pouring out of my eyes
like drops of water
	from a mountaintop
which having run their course
	become part of a waterfall.

Why I still want
	to be with you so bad
	and miss you so much,
I can’t explain.

And even these tears
won’t wash you
	out of my mind,
	out of my life.

Why is it we only seem
to live with pain
when we should be living
		with love?

I can visualize your poem in my mind, I like that. I think love is painful at times
