you can't see my silent tears

they are full
of longing
of hope
of pain.

they were for the times
that we smiled
walking the drizzling rain
and holding on to each other
tightly.

they were for the times
that we could smell
each other's sweet breath,
savoring each moment
in our embrace.

they were for the times
that we forgave each other
instantly.

they were for the times
that we listened to each other
without a pang of insecurity
or a spurt of disagreement.

they were for the times
that we saw each other
in our plans,
our future.

they were for the times
that the mention of your or my name
would bring a smile
to our face.

they were for the times
that we believed
in our
love.

do you hear those silent tears?
