Where's It Written

Where's it written that a man can't cry a single tear, of love, hate, or rage? Must he be content to live and die; having never stepped off of his stage? Your absence is tearing me apart; it hurts inside; I miss you so much. I swear I love you with all my heart; and late at night I cry for your touch. Let's not wash our dreams away with tears, erasing all traces of our love. I need to hold you, to calm my fears; we're a perfect fit, like hand and glove. If I can't convince you with my words, search your heart, and there you'll find my soul. For like the wind that carries the birds; your love completes me, and makes me whole.

G'day Emile... this a great emotional poem Emile. Sometimes I think crying is a pressure release, not a sign of weakness at all - Lindsay
