Hold Her Closer

Tears are words the heart can't express and according to an Argentinian saying, the one who loves you will make you weep.

“Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see life with a clearer view again.”

“The tears fall, they're so easy to wipe off onto my sleeve, but how do I erase the stain from my heart?”

“Tears are the safety valve of the heart when too much pressure is laid on it.” Albert Smith

Why do we cry and are women more prone to tears or is it just a myth? I never quite liked to cry especially in front of others. The best spot would be to be tucked underneath the "protection zone" of my pillow and aptly named comforter.

My life right now, is a joke. One I can't bring myself to laugh at but occasionally, I find myself jeering at my mirror image. Is this a clown I see before me?

I have to admit I don't pray as much as I should and I barely say my graces before chomping down on the next pot of chicken curry and could only hope it's not gonna give me Delhi Belly.

Last night, I prayed.

The very moment I called out I just cried. I forgot when was the last time I entirely washed my face with tears and mucus (Ewww I know). I cried. I couldn't speak. I just poured out everything. I shouldn't but I did - I doubted, I argued, I kicked my legs like a child who couldn't get what she wants in Toys'R'Us. Why me? Why me?

Why is it that I can't bring myself to walk away? It's never been this hard to walk away...

When you see love
And you don't know what it is
You might find yourself in fear
To show your heart
But when you feel is
And it's oh, so wonderful
You might find yourself in fear
To let it part, in fear to let it part

So hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when she feels
She needs a hand to hold
Someone who'll never let her go again
And hold him closer when he tries
To hold the tears back from his eyes
Don't say goodbye

When your heart decides
That it's time to let it through
There's no reason to be scared
To open up
Cause love may be blind
But all of us don't see it
So just once in your life
If you hear the knock of love
Just let it in

Hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when you know it's time to say goodbye
You hurry back to see her smile again
And hold him closer when he's down
When his world is upside down
Turn it around

So hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when she feels
She needs a hand to hold
Someone who'll never let her go
And hold her closer when she's down
When her world is upside down
Turn it around
Hold her close
