Tears: One happy, One sad (Lonely Meaningful Nights)

Fall down now

I want you to

Give me a feeling

That I can relate to

I want a new heartbeat

To match this new clock

My life keeps on ticking

I'm afraid of when it will stop



So I cry a tear or two

Both for me, both for you

One for all the joy you bring

One for all the miles between

One is happy, the other sad

It seems again tonight

I am having another fight

With myself



Keep on falling

Down to where you belong

I want to be happy

I want to be strong

You give me a heartbeat

To go with this clock

The tick will meet the tock

Don't you ever give up



So I cry a tear or two

Both for me, both for you

One for all the memories we make

One for all the lonely breaths you take

One is happy, the other sad

It seems again tonight

I am having another fight

With myself



I will call you

Don't you cry

Not this time, no not tonight

I want to bring you a new gift

A life worth living

A heart worth giving

Take a step back, i know

This seems to be moving not slow

But don't get carried away

Don't give up on the day

Don't cry when you feel so alone



Cause here I am

I talk to you

I listen for you

When you pick up

Here I go again

Another long-distance call

Another possible heart-break

When will it end?

When will this unhappy tear not have to fall?



So I cry a tear or two

Both for me, both for you

One for all the memories we make

One for all the lonely breaths you take

One is happy, the other sad

It seems again tonight

I am having another fight

With myself

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I put this under the 'bittersweet' category...but you can't ahve sweetness without a little bitterness...

This one is about a 'friend' whom I will name...Rae.  She is a wonderful person, only she lives pretty far away...and it sucks for both of us.  Tonight she cried a tear for happiness and a tear for saddness...and it inspired this poem/song.
