Baby don't cry

Tears. I think it's the body's way of saying... sorry but I cannot cope anymore. Those little tear ducts act like a fuse, just so you don't blow the fuse. But sometimes we still blow the fuse, and it's ok. No need to get mad at ourselves for crying. Getting mad doesn't solve anything. That's why tears are basically salty water, there is a purpose for that. Water means we can go with the flow. It's our flow, and it's ok. Because if tear ducts are present in every human being, then they were made for a purpose. And I know all this, yet I don't want people to cry. They can cry as much as they like if they are crying with laughter. But we don't tend to cry all day with happiness. On the contrary, we cry all day because we're in pain, sad, broken hearted. And then, that is what soul mates were created for. Soul mates can do everything together, but they cannot cry together. Because when one is crying, the other is responsible for wiping away the tears, again, and again, and yet again, as long as it's necessary. I do not like to see my soul mate crying, because it means she is hurting. But I have to step up to the role of gathering all the tears and blowing them away. For as long as it takes. I've done my own crying. I've cried so hard that I couldn't open my eyes anymore. And although I would love to have magic Kleenex, that isn't possible. So I do the next best thing. I hold her hand, promise to be there and wait till all the salty tears evaporate and there are tears no more. And I'm doing nothing special, because she would do the same for me and more. Of course it hurts me to see her hurt. It makes me want to cry too. But I cannot allow myself that. Because soul mates do not cry at the same time. They cry together. And one day the same sun will shine on both of them.
