One time someone told me...

One time someone told me that the tears I was crying were 'missin' tears.'
They were right.

One time someone told me that it doesn't last forever and that things would be better soon.
They were right.

One time someone told me to hold on as tight as I could, 'so tight until your arms feel like they'll fall off.'
They were right.

So, for awhile now, my eyes have been all dried up. Things have been better, and I want the better to last forever. I've been holding on, and holding, and holding, and my arms are getting tired. I've said goodbye too many times, that word wells up in my throat and breaths with a piece of my heart. So for now I'll keep those missin' tears at bay.
