someone once asked me if I knew what love was
I told them that it was like body parts missing
my fiancee once told me that the best man for you
will never make you cry

I will have to say that she is wrong,
for it is because of love that we cry
and as my body parts are missing
I know that her statement is a lie

and the truth of it is
that every man could make you cry
but the one that is best for you
will understand the value
of your tears

People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid. --Soren Kierkegaard

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
