A Smile Behind the Tears

By WaryDreamer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A smile ...because it was wonderful ~         and tears ...because it's only a memory. There is a void in my life now.   It's the empty spaces left by the absence     of your hugs, your encouragement, and your presence. I'm saddened at their loss,   but at the same time,     I'm reassured of their existence. Before meeting you,   my experience with these and many other feelings     was only within the words on a page       coupled with the cynical conclusion that,         "Real life's not that way!" I know now,   that real life     CAN be that way. One thing I'll not allow myself to doubt...   regardless of how brief,     it was REAL! There were no promises, no demands, no commitments,   and no heavy expectations ~     but the company, the caring and the concern       were genuine ~         I BELIEVE THAT!                         mDecember 1986 Written October 24th, 2001 © on Oct 24 2001 01:45 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
