It's Ok to Cry

I see tears welling in your eyes,
It is not a big surprise,
When I'm about to leave again,
About to get back on that plane,
To travel over miles of sea,
Which means that you can't be with me,
At least not for this little while,
Separated by four thousand miles.

It's ok, we'll make it through,
I promise that I won't leave you,
Don't be scared now, have no fear,
Just hold me close for the time I'm near.
I asked you if you ever cry,
I'm glad you said yes and didn't lie,
You always seem to cope so well,
If I didn't know you I couldn't tell
That you cry when you're alone,
It's something that you've never shown.

It's ok to cry because I'll always be here
To restore every smile and catch every tear,
Not too long now until I'm back for good,
To be in your arms just like I should.
Wipe away those tears that it's ok to cry
Because I'm coming home, there'll be no more goodbye.
