First Tears


when two people cry
for the first time together,
something shifts—
the air thickens,
the silence deepens,
and love is no longer
a word,
but a trembling presence.

 

tears are not weakness,
they are confession,
they are the body saying
what the tongue cannot.

    

and in that moment
each sees the other
unmasked,
unguarded,
and knows—
this is love,
because it hurts,
because it heals,
because it is shared.
