Tear

A great love of mine once asked
If you could be anything in the 
world what would it be? 

I  told that great love of mine...
If I could be anything in the world
I would be a tear, born in your eye,
living on your cheek, and dying in
your lips.

That great love of mine gave me 
one last heartfelt look with watery
eyes, turned, and walked away.

As that great love of mine walked 
away I could hear him trying to fight
back his tears, but I wasn't as strong.
One after another tears rolled down 
my face.

I called after that great love of mine.
He stopped, turned, looked at me, 
then dropped his face into his hands 
and cried.

I ran to that great love of mine and
slowly pulled his hands away from 
his face and looked into his eyes 
and held him until he stopped 
crying.  

I told that great love of mine that
It was then I realized if I
could be anything in the world
I would still be his tear.
