Tears Are More Than Tears When They Are Shed For Love

Tears are more than tears when they are shed for love Love is more than lost when it is lost for good No heart can endure what losing takes away No cry can shed a tear that soothes a spirit (no not the spirit of lost love) For to gain is to love and live again But to lose is to hurt and die a thousand times A smile is more than happiness when it is brought about by love But a cry is a painful instance of losing the most important, most overwhelming attribute of life (love)
