I have shed more tears for you,
than for any other man..
And I love you deeper, true,
than any other can..

The First Tears I shed for others,
but you held me in your arms..
My tears crept down your shoulder
as you hugged me, safely warm..

The Second I shed for myself,
but then I found worse pain,
When I was then kept from your side
and made to feel ashamed..

The Third I shed for anger's sake,
for shock and rage I came to show..
Both accusation and regret
were things I came to know..

The Next I shed came later yet,
now, when you're far away..
I want and need to hold you close,
if just for one more day..

And though I will shed more for you,
our future will be bright..
For though I will be sad sometimes,
You will always make it right....
