Many a tear has to fall

[mig]

But it's all in the game,
All in the wonderful game,
That we know as love.


Pretty words.Pretty song.

I wonder though,is it true,does it have to be that way?.

Can't you have love without tears?.

Can't you have love without tears?.

I don't think so, mig. With great love comes the chance of great pain.

 

[MissTaken]

Tears are part of loving.

Not in a causal relationship, but as Ruby said, the vulnerability that comes with giving your self to someone leads to sadness and pain, even when the distress is unintended.


The man who could make me the happiest, made me cry more often and more deeply than any other......while the relationship was strong.

mig,

Like Ruby and MissTaken both already said, tears are a part of love.

When we are happy and in love the tears flow from feeling the joy of the person we are with. It's how we express our sentiments. It's all of the emotions springing forth when we are so elated that there is nothing else to do but cry.

Love also brings laughter and sunshine into our lives along with caring and wonderful friendship.

But, the worst tears of all are the tears that come when love has ended, or when love needs to be released for whatever reasons. Those tears come from deep down inside - from the very core of your being.

I have found that the greater the joy, the deeper the sorrow... tears fall freely, sometimes from joy, sometimes from sadness... but tears do fall...

 

[mistyc]

Tears are a part of love,
Whether it be from happiness
Whether it be from sadness
The heart overflows.

Tears fall like rain drops
Sometimes like a torrid storm
When I see my beloved
The glistening begins

But the heart breaks
When parting is in the wind
Temporary tears are the worst
Even though you will be together again.




Im sorry I had to add this poem. I wrote it after saying goodbye to my love. We met for one beautiful week, then I had to leave. But in a couple of months we will be together again. Even wrapped up in his arms, my tears flowed as I couldn't believe how I could find love at my age, and that he would feel the same, even though he is 7 years younger than me. My tears flow because we cannot marry.

Tears are a part of loving, whether it be for the love of a good man, children or animals. Tears do not discriminate.
I think a lot of men would not be as angry if they would just let the tears flow free and not lock them away.

Sorry I got carried away.

as strange as it sounds

Tears are a part of love.

When I was married, there were times when my husband made me very sad. Things he said hurt because I loved him so much. I remember telling him that there would come a day when he wouldn't be able to make me cry any more and when that happened he would know that I no longer loved him. Unfortunately, I was wiser than I knew.

Tears are raw emotion, whether they are tears of joy or tears of saddness. Tears clense the body, mind, and soul.

Better to have loved and lost than...

I spent one of the sweetest, most memorable years with a special woman. And though I wish it could have gone on forever, we both knew it was not meant to be. The first time I heard this song, I thought it had been written with her and I in mind. I am so lucky to have had one year with this woman and to have lost her, than to never have taken the opportunity to discover love in her arms. She had breast cancer that had spread to other areas in her body before they discovered it.

I listen to this song and sometimes cry. But I know that at least one time in my life I was loved as if there was no tomorrow. For she lived each day to it's utmost fullest. Never knowing when that day would be the last she had the strength to get out of bed for the last time. Towards the end, she did not even have the strength to return a hug. And her family whisked her away from everyone who loved her to be in a Hospice in their hometown.

Sorry to borrow your topic Mig, but this was the most fitting place I see for it.

Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah

My heart cries out to your heart
I'm lonely but you can save me
My hand reaches out for your hand
I'm cold but you light the fire in me
My lips search for your lips
I'm hungry for your touch
There's so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment just surrender

And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much
(ooh yes it hurts)
And pain is so close to pleasure
And all I can do is surrender to your love
Ooh, just surrender to your love
Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you
I'm falling apart all around you
And all I can do is surrender

 

[ShamelessFlirt]

Tears of joy count?

To answer your question Mig, I don't think you can have love without tears.


"Tears"

The tears I cry
fall from eyes
that one time had forgotten
how to weep
how to sigh
from love
misbegotten

Freely flowing
remembering pain
feeling once again
easily now
like dew thew fall
after mournings reign
My heart is hurt this final time
an ending to a game

it's over now
I've lost again
A player never more
but the bitter sweet memory
how to cry
reopens a rusted door

 

[Dillinger]

A Poem written on water
by Hoseung Jung

Only one of a thousand of my hands wiped away your tears
Only one of a thousand of my eyes shed tears of you
Over land and sea, the deep night shows no road
The moonlight flies towards me, stabs me in the heart with a knife sharpened
to a deep blue
Now a thousand of my hands wipe away your tears
Now a thousand of my eyes shed tears for you

Whom I love

I love not the person who has no shade
I love not the person who does not love the shade
I love the person who has become the shade of a tree stump
For the sunlight to be clear and bright it needs the shade
Sitting in the shade
Gazing at the sunbeams flashing between the leaves
How beautiful is this world

I love not the person who has no tears
I love not the person who does not love tears
I love the person who has become a teardrop
For joy is not joy without tears
What kind of love is love without tears?
Sitting in the shade
Someone wipes away the tears of another
How serene is that beauty
