Tears Of Joy

When I first laid eyes on him,
I knew,
He was the one for me.
The one I couldn't live without
But when
When I thought I had lost him
I couldn't bare
I laid in my bed
In my puddle
My puddle of sorrow
Of depression
For all I knew
He would not come back to me
But when he did
When he finally came back
I was free
Free of sorrow
Free of depression
Free of my pain
The pain that weakened me
That brought me down
To the point
I couldn't lift myself above my strength
I was weak
Nothing more
Nothing less
I was flushed with joy
I was enlightened with love and hope
And for this I say
Try not to lose the one you love
The one you adore
The one you can't let go
Don't let go
Hold on forever!
Cause,
You could have tears of Joy.
