don't you cry tonight

Does crying heal? i think it just gives you a headache and swollen eyelids! Is crying good for the soul? Maybe. Sometimes, the tears wash away a bit of your pain. Sometimes, they add to it by reminding you of things that made you start crying in the first place.

These tears-
These droplets of water i shed
From eyes swollen like pregnant clouds
-Can they convey my pain to you?
Or would they just dry up
without telling their story?

But is it really your tears that determine whether they will convey their pain to me, or just dry up without telling their story ?

No. It is I, who decides what your tears are worth, and what they mean to me.

The meaning of tears lies in the eyes of the beholder.

@matter: Everything is subjective. From my point of view, the tears express my pain/hurt. Now whether you choose to ignore my pain and or read into it, that is your prerogative.

It is fun having different opinions, ni?

Oh, me and my typical cryptic communication.

The entire post was actually written from the perspective of yr partner - I actually wanted you to put yrself in his shoes..

I - have no locus standi vis-a-vis yr tears... My apologies.

So, what I want you to do is - think these lines are written by Him, and see if things/ perspective change.

Cheers!

@matter: Credit me with some intelligence please! i know your comment was from the standpoint of the person the post was meant for -and my reply stands the same.

i am quite liking this volley of words!!

@ gypsy
1. Oops!
2. Maybe I was hoping for a different reply, hence.. (is that an excuse?!)
3. And now I get a deja vu on your intelligence comment.
- Only I put it a little differently. I usually say "I can either be honest or modest, I prefer the first"
- I wouldn't be writing here if I didn't sense intelligence in what I read! Credit me too with some...

@matter:
1. Hota he, hota he
2. It is not an excuse..maybe an expectation.
3. Can i borrow that sentence? Please? Pretty please?
Danke! And i sense the same in you !! We are good sensors, i say. :)

Does it matter said...

2. Yes, maybe an expectation..
3. Yes, you can. Try putting a footnote with credit to me though. ;-)
By all means, do so - if it applies. ;-)

Good sensors huh.. Though someone might just accuse us of having formed a mutual admiration society.
Cheers!

Hey!
Cogito ergo sum, on yr site.

Leads me to Deja-vu again -

Do visit the world famous blog http://whydoes-it-matter.blogspot.com/ -- ofcourse the only difference being you speak in absolute terms, while I am not too sure..

Do you mean to say you just noticed my tagline "Cogito..." now?!! (after the thousand back-and-forths "comment passing" we have been indulging in?). And all the while my ego was thinking that was what led you to this blog in the first place.

Does it matter said...

Absolutely yes.

And if it does your ego any good, let me say it was the content of the blog & the quality of writing that got me logged on to your blog..

Sounds good ?

gypsy said...

@matter: Sounds very good indeed! Merci! And hope to see you blogging more.

Does it matter said...

My pleasure, entirely.

Blogging is not as easy as one thought, commenting is so much easier..
;-)
But ya, will try.

You too, do keep up with the blogging.
