The Teardrop

I
                       am
                    like the 
                   teardrops 
                 misting my
                eyes, and like
              my lover, whom
            I had to let go, one
        tear is now sliding down
      my cheek; oh, how I wish
   that my love were crying now 
for me, and that like this one tear, 
his hand was warmly caressing my
  cheek! Oh, that his mouth could 
  be again on my mouth, like this
      teardrop that has fallen to
       my lips. I would be this
          tear but sadly dying
              on his mouth

That's beutiful Andrea. You formed a heartfelt wish, likened it to your tear and formed it into a tear. All in one heartfelt poem. Accolades!
