tears

i cry
because i miss you
i cry
because you changed me
the road you walked on
crossed with mine
i switched paths
and now im here
it isn't so bad
i still miss you
i still cry
sometimes i dream that you're here
waiting to chat
waiting to laugh
waiting to sip tea again
but i awake to reality
it's harsh and unforgiving
somehow ive moved on
so much has happened
i wouldn't know where to start
if i could
maybe i would just cry
because i do
because i still need to
because tears aren't empty
they're full
of life
of love
of sadness
of memories
they're both salty and sweet
but they are mine
for keeps
cause i want them
