When you cry, I cry

When you laugh, I laugh
my beautiful rose

I'm laughing right now, laughing from the pain
of the day I fell in love when we were running in the rain
The calm before the storm, the warm before the cold
the days and nights together before it started to unfold

and when you hurt, I hurt
that's the way it goes

I'm hurting right now, hurting from the pain
of the day I watched you leave on that midnight plane
Where it was flying, to this day, I still don't know
but it seems like yesterday that I had to watch you go

When you smile, I smile
ear to ear

I'm smiling right now, smiling from the pain
of the day you came back, there was no need to explain
I know we tried to make it work but it wasn't meant to be
You had to let me go, and I had to set you free

and when you cry, I cry
tear for tear

I'm crying right now, crying from the pain
of the day I asked myself if it was right to break the chain?
Could I have tried harder to never let you go?
Could I have saved our love...but now I'll never know

When you laugh, I laugh
my beautiful rose
and when you hurt, I hurt
that's the way it goes
When you smile, I smile
ear to ear
and when you cry, I cry
tear for tear

The first lines of your stanzas make this poem very melodic. Nice work. More secular than your usual, but I still love it.

Wow, I can really feel the depth of pain behind this piece, it's so raw and 'real' which makes it hard not to get a bit teary eyed.
I love the way you ended this piece with those little lines in between each paragraph and how they flow beautifully together.
Well done indeed. :)

Right on! Yeah, I was pretty bummed out. God, as always, kept me movin' along and singin' a song.
