I Know

I know I really want to weep

At your passing away

For not being there                             

To applaud my achievements

And caress me when I am hurt

I know I really want to weep

When everything reminds me of you

The moments we shared together

And our joys and disappointments    

With one another

I know I really want to weep

But when my heart aches with pain

And tears well up in my eyes

I feel your presence

In my thoughts and memories

I know I really want to weep

But then I know it will cause you pain

As it always did when I was anguished

And the tears that are flowing

Stop as suddenly as they had begun

I know I really want to weep

But I would rather have your comfort

Than have you in pain

So that I can find comfort in your arms

For just that little longer

I know I really want to weep

But the tears I will shed

Are the ones that will well up

In the eyes of others

As something I do

Reminds someone of you.
