Before The Next Teardrop Falls  I shed a heartbroken tear Each time we part, Deep inside a part of me dies. Every time you are no longer near I feel empty and forlorn. When you are away from me, In the pit of my being I mourn... Tho I know you’ll be back soon... I know I must give you room To freely go your way... To spread your wings Without my constant attendings, For at end of day, You’ll always come back to me I pray... For true loving Lies at the heart of knowing When to let go So deeper love has air to grow. True love must not suffocate, Held too closely with amour asphyxiate, Preventing true and tender caring From freely blossoming... Held too tightly Empassioned love can obliterate, Loves sweet song stagnate. For pure love is like a rose That only in full sun, air and rain grows. Tho when you are gone my soul cries. A part of me truly dies... I know my love will return If freedoms secrets I learn. Love is like a delicate breath of air, Giving profound despair. For I cannot hold vaporous air, As I cannot hold you with ties physical, Only bonds spiritual. Only then can my empty heart Find lasting fullment’s greatest work of art... Abiding happiness flowing Off the chart... To me the good life sowing. So in true love be smart... For sincere caring demands Each have an equal part, A hallowed, Sacred, Heart-to-heart... Bond of patient affection Enduring, Long-standing, Without abandoning dereliction. But know if anything ever hurts you And makes you cry Don't worry your sweet head a second, Don't concern yourself about why... Just know that I am there Whenever life starts to play hardball. I'll pick you up if you should fall, If on your life a heavy rain starts to fall. I'll be there to wipe away your tears, For no fears are too small... I'll stand by you, I'll protect you, I'll comfort you, I'll lay down my very life for you. If storm clouds overhead brightness palls Upon your life with bittered rancor galls... Know I'll be there before the next teardrop falls!
