One tear...

To honour the fallen since last time.

U.S. (Ill, Tenn, Mo (2), La, Ark, Tex (2), Ka, Md, Ohio), UK (2) and Italy

At about 9:30 this evening it occurred to me that these guys gave their lives.... The least I can do is share a bunch of damn words that spilled out of me last year. I was holding tight to this one.

I lie here so still in such silence I can hear the one tear that falls from my eye to the pillow beside me. I hold you so close to my heart when the distance between us is infinite. I search for words to express how I feel, but instead of words, there are only tears. My heart, my heart was empty before, and now it is full, because of you, whom I do not know and never shall.  (cki March 23, 2010)
