Tears that refresh not sting, you don’t have to cry to show tears

Tears that refresh with joy and not sting that’s what a good friend brings. A soul that touches you and you become friends. You do not have a need or want from them. You simply know their needs by standing beside them. you don’t speak of serious situations or subjects you float around and laugh at life wasting the day. then someone becomes the adult and realizes we need to be responsible. We become very emotionally invested in our friends life. We hear their needs, we live their life through their eyes with their words and effectively listen to their hurt. The tears we shed with them sting. We also have tears of laughter. Those tears wash our face with a refreshing hug and we are renewed with a sense of why we are friends. We look at our friends through those times of tears and the many times we got stung. We will talk of the those who are on the outside looking in and want to be closer to our circle. They want what we have. These outside friends have had tears that sting and want our refreshing laughter. We will draw closer together and decide like a pack, we will let them in. I may have not cried and showed them tears, but I did open my heart and showed them they could have tears of joy. They want in this circle and they want this, the tears of joy and laughter. To wash your face with tears from a friend in joy, is a gift. You don’t have to cry to have tears, some people don’t cry, but they do hurt. They carry that hurt and when they do cry it’s tears that sting. Give them a gift of of refreshing tears. Friendships are to be nurtured and handled with care like a garden. It needs needs sun and water, but it also needs to rest. I go in different direction, this circle of life’s issues I have learned in my life and carried the pain. It’s hard to lay it down and give it closure. I have cried the tears that sting and embraced the tears of pain. Because I have had small circle of friends who have gifted tears of joy get through those times. I have heard the phrase friends with benefits, I’m old but it’s been around when I played the game. Don’t play with people, you will look back and realize with regret and those tears will sting. Later in life you will stop and sigh a heavy sigh, you sit and wish could face them and say something about your reckless behavior. Do you wish you could stop time and walk it back, and wash it away. To refresh where you going or what you were thinking, instead of having those tears will sting. Moving to fast to a relationship or just having enjoying the moment “because it feels good”. Someone gets hurt without the intention and also without control of your body, it feel good, do it. Those tears sting. You lose time in moments like that, it’s refreshing, exciting and your body aches and craves the attention. But find a to know the way out and say thank you, it was fun and stop. You end up with tears that sting in both sides. where is this coming from these statements. I look back and see at what I’ve seen and done, the people I held and was held by. Those who embraced and played me. Tears that sting and tears that refreshed me. Tears that sting are always the memories that stay with us and stop us from making those tears of joy.
