It's Not Weak To Cry

On the day you went away,
Goodbye was all I had to say.
I cried no tears for you.
And haven't, unto this day.

I told myself to be strong,
And crying isn't strong.
I had to hold myself together,
I still have to be strong.

But I think of all the things you haven't seen,
All the things you missed.
And how, on that night, you left,
Without a goodnight kiss.

And as I think of all theses things,
While I'm drifting off to sleep,
I notice my pillow's wet.
I smile, and begin to weep

Look Mum, I'm crying,
I'm crying all for you!
I love you with all my aching heart,
I know you love me too.

Goodnight Mum.
