I’ve never been one to cry when I am happy, or when I’m feeling the spirit, or really ever actually.<\/p>\n

I cried on my mission when I felt like I wasn’t good enough. I cried when someone had hurt me, or when I had felt that I had hurt someone. \u00a0I cried when I was sad.<\/p>\n

But today, I cried. \u00a0And the tears that fell were not sad. \u00a0They were the happiest tears I’ve ever cried. \u00a0And I don’t know why. \u00a0Well, I do, but I don’t know why I cried.<\/p>\n

I am happy. Oh, I am so so happy, and I don’t know how else to explain it.<\/p>\n

Maybe the tears<\/p>\n

Are the rain.<\/p>\n

And yes, I will stay here,<\/p>\n

If you, too, stay.<\/p>\n

Oh, how I want to stay,<\/p>\n

And cry happy tears<\/p>\n

For the rest of my life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(And that won’t make sense to anyone except for me. \u00a0But deal with it.)<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n
