Two little teardrops were floating down the river of life.
One drop said to the other, "I am the teardrop of a girl who loved a man
and lost him."
Who are you? "Well, I am the teardrop of the girl who won him."
Love is very strange. Love is unconditional commitment to an imperfect
individual. You need it but when you love, it's like destining yourself
for pain. You become addicted and dependent on the person. You
become strong and at the same time, you open yourself up to being hurt.
Love can make you bear any kind of pain and any kind of sacrifice.
It can also make you feel stupid and act stupidly. Sometimes when you
love and end up giving so much of yourself, subconciously you only discover
how much you've given when the person you love hurts you or has to say goodbye.
Then you realize, an important part of yourself is already with that person.
It goes away when he leaves and you are left with a sickening, empty feeling
inside.
Tears are bound to shed from your eyes no matter how you force yourself to
keep them in. Most teardrops ever shed on this earth have been for
love or lack of it. When tears dry, a silent loss sticks to your heart
for a long, long time. Well, that's what you get for caring so
much about someone. But how can you regret it?
To give yourself freely and lovingly is the most beautiful thing you can
do. Loving makes you real. Loving also makes you cry.
And that is why a teardrop is also BEAUTIFUL.
