Tears slip down my cheek
Sliding down, their salt against my skin
A  tear of hope
A tear of sadness
A  tear of love
Tears are magic
Tears are pain
Each tear you shed
Is a stab the heart
Each moment together
Makes it harder too part
Each word said  
Makes the love stronger
A moment without you
Is a thousand tears
A world without you 
Is my greatest fear
