A TEAR!!!

I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days....

And wonder if i'll feel that way again

You look at me
with those eyes I know so well
always serious, so deep and insightful...
as though you are always in control...

But not today

Not now

NOW you look so scared
like for once you don't have the answer...

I gaze at you
looking deep into those hazel eyes
Hoping to understand

WHY you've said those things you did...

I wonder for a moment
If this all a dream
   If I shall wake in the morning
and be relieved....

YOU look at me
   With a confusion, I have never seen

SLOWLY pull me toward you
   AND wipe the tears from my CHEEK..........!!!!!
