I refuse to cry.

I refuse to cry,

Because i don't want you to be the cause of my pain.

Because if i do, my tear ducts might go dry,

and put the rain to shame.

Because i don't want you to be the reason for my sadness.

Because you definitely don't deserve that.

you were the most cheerful person ive ever met, surrounded by an aura of happiness.

I don't want you to be so great and still break my heart.

Because i don't want you to bring me tears.

Because i don't want to believe you're not going to play your part.

Because i don't want to believe you're really not here.

I don't want to cry because you never let me do it before.

I don't want to cry because it would mean you're not here anymore.

I refuse to cry because that's the opposite of what you'd want me to do.

But i still do cry, because i never realized what i had, because its true...

That i took you for granted and before i knew,

Without a warning you've gone, without a goodbye...

I guess i deserved that, you left leaving me here to cry.

But i'll battle my tears, for you i will try.

Since even though you've gone, you still left me a present like you always used to...

the beautiful memories once a part of my life, i'll always hold onto.

I refuse to cry.

But even as i say those words, i cant help the tear which escapes my eye.
