TEAR

The day I called your name
A tear caressed my cheek

It was a tear filled with joy
A tear brimming with hopes and love

For in that tear
Was the taste of salt from your lips
And the blue seas of your eyes
Whisking me away to a place I had never been

And in that tear
Was a reflection of myself
A part of me I thought I’d never give
To someone whom I could lose

Then your hand
With its most gentle touch
Brushed away my tear
Hoping to spare me pain

Not realizing
That tear, was all I had
To make me feel alive.
