When The Tears Fell is a poem written by Kelli J. Gavin and is shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme Treasures That We Keep for the month of May.
When The Tears Fell
When the tears fell the first time
I wiped them as soon as they touched my cheeks
When they fell again
I wasn’t as quick to tend to the tears
When I realized how frequently they would appear
I began to think differently about the emotions
That I was unable to contain
Now a treasured friend I have accepted them
Because they come and go as they please
I can’t control them or hide them
But I can welcome the release they provide
When the tears fall I now smile
I remember you and miss you
