A teardrop for you...
Real men cry. In fact some tough guys do it a lot, although I might say only in silence. It just shows that, we too, are human beings entitled to our own share of teardrops, despite the tough image. Crying is not an exclusive girl's pasttime. Boys who cry are not sissies, in fact men who cry make better generals in the battlefield than those who never cry at all.
When a man sheds a tear, It signals him to move on and begin a new chapter in his life's tale. It tells him that his darkest hour has finally begun to end, that tomorrow, he'll be a new person. A seasoned one. A tougher one. He has reached another bar at maturity.
When a real man cries, he pours his heart out. He cries not for himself, not for the pain he suffers, not for pity. He cries for the people who experience the same burden. He cries not for compassion, nor a lost cause. He cries not for choices he didn't make, but for what he can't do.
Crying is not a luxury we men enjoy, so we savor every moment of it. Every teardrop is worth a lifetime's what-could-have-beens. Every pathetic sounding sob from a tough guy is worth every bit of pride we could swallow. It is not everyday that you see a man weep seriously. It is not everyday that you see a real man shed a tear, but if he does, remember that tomorrow is another challenge. Mistakes will be made, tears will be shed, but those are some of the things that makes us better men.

the cliche "boys don't cry" originated from an 80's phenomenal band. True..true...
Because boys cannot express themselves.
they are meer reflections of other people.
stereotypes. following the footsteps of what they see as "icons".
I always say "boys don't cry...but MEN do."
As my dear sir abbot said..and i quote "When a real man cries, he pours his heart out. He cries not for himself, not for the pain he suffers, not for pity."
I too had the chance to spend a lifetime with a person.
Waiting for him to cry.,not because i want to see him hurt., But to assure myself that he is human.he is not a shell.he is waht he is.that He is a MAN.
But the tears i have been longing to see did not come from the eyes whom i longed to see teardrops to fall., nor see a moment of dispair.
Everytime we have ordeals...tears fall from my eyes not his.
I never saw any emotion from that man. Or was he just a boy?
sometimes, its so hard for a person to move on, hoping that the situation might change for the better...But it does not.
When is a man considered as a man?
When he does not show his emotions? He does not show his sentiments?
When he leaves you with questions that keep you up at night while you try to think was things that happen your fault?
I never dreamed for a perfect relationship, nor a perfect person to be right by my side.
I yearned for that person to show what he feels.,not to be scared, not to hinder fear..for as human thats we are.We feel..we cry.
It is so hard for me sir abbot and my co afficionado of his memoirs to cry every single night. But it is over.
Every teardrop that falls down my cheek..comes strength.
One day, when i dance in the rain again..when i scream my heart out..i would find someone at the end of that street. He may cry...and i would give him a warm embrace.

The day my grandad died, was the day I had a glimpse of my dad crying.
Just a glimpse really…but I saw.
It was also the same day I've found the healing power of tears.
But sad tales persist to plague this world, and the reality of it destroys all that is pure in spirit...of soulful, honest tears!
"He cries not for choices he didn't make, but for what he can't do."
Yep, true. I take this in both negative and positive light depending on who’s doing the crying. Boys or men? Many thanks to the song.
If I may stress, I believe 'boys cry shallow tears, and men cry'. I've been witness to pathetic tears! And it breaks my heart of what guys are capable of…manipulative tears, yes! I am hasty and unfair in judgement but this I find true about guys. Now I’m stuck into believing that real tears are shed in private; and any public show would never connect to true feelings???!!!!!!!!
