The Love in My Tears
When there’s a big empty space
Inside your heart
The love you possess
Comes out in your tears
You see there’s a formula
It’s like those hot packs athletes use-
Shake the chemicals together
And boom – A chain reaction
Then you’re cooking with heat
I think love is that way
You go along
With your big vessel of love
It’s half the formula
Waiting for that chain reaction
But in love
Like in life
Nothing is static
So at times
When your side of the formula overflows
Your love comes out in tears
Tears of joy
Tears of sadness
Sometimes both
The optimist in me
Sees the bountiful
Gift that life has offered
Rewards that can’t be valued
The other side
Says but with who?
Without the connection
No chain reaction
No cooking with heat
Or passion
Or whatever it is
That makes it click
And that can be hard
But when you find your match
If you’re honest and true
You’ll never have tears again
Because when your vessel is full
Your love will transfer to your partner
Not through tears
But through the energy of the chain reaction
And that feeds on itself
Making your love stronger and deeper
Emotionally connecting -
Like a million little tears
