And Again

I went back to bed
When the tears were dry
You didn't need to know
That I had just cried

I laid down beside you
On the far side of the bed
But after a moment
I had to cover my head

The tears were still coming
They just wouldn't cease
I tried to stifle the sounds
And I tried to keep the peace

You ask me what is wrong
And I replied to you
'I've never cried so much before
And it's all because of you'

You took me in your arms
And held me so very tight
You kissed my lips gently
And said 'Everythings alright'

My tears were still flowing
They never seem to end
'I don't know if I can handle this,
I want you more than just a friend'

You said you didn't know
How intensely I cared for you
Theres no way you could tell
I kept it hidden from view

I finally gained control
The tears seemed to dry up
I got up an light a smoke
I just needed to sit up

I finished my cigarette quietly
I thought I had gained control
The hush between us deafening
The silence almost whole

You pulled me down beside you
And again held me in your arms
I started tearing up once more
I love the way you charmed

You felt the wetness on my cheek
And kissed my tears as they fall
Holding me so close to you
That... I'll always recall

Things got a little heavy
And was leading up to more
I started crying all over again
As you started to explore

Again you noticed my tears
And again held me in your arms
I loved the way that I felt safe
And in no danger of harm

That night to me, was beautiful
It could have come from a dream
I will keep that memory forever
And forever it will gleam
