Just now, two moments from now My red eye shut out a drop of sea. One salty teardrop. I hadn't cried for over four months when I needed my tears the most. And so Just now, two moments from now I wrote a letter and that one drop ran quietly but fast down my one sad, emotional cheek. For all the time I hadn't cried I was convinced "to cry will be the only relief" And so Just now, two moments from now I realized: Life doesn't work that way.
