Love songs [90]

Let’s be clear: I’ve always have had joy inside my tears. There were so many tears that crying stopped. That was the time I didn’t recognized myself anymore — the reasons were, for most of us, obvious: adaptation in a desperate hope to be loved.

Let’s be clear: I don’t complain. Those tears were, in the end, small and insignificant. What’s magnificent are those tears of recognition, tenderness, connection.

Let it be a painting, a poem, a cantata by J.S. Bach, the squirrel dribbling from tree to tree, the hedgehog who reminds me of you in his nakedness, the pigeon that remains undisturbed on its nest, the outstretched hand of a chimpanzee, the countless shiny hair of my cats …

Let’s be clear: it’s love. Love is easier to discover when there are no ulterior motives. That is the pitfall of learned behavior. Our pitfall — homo sapiens.

Fortunately — there are also those (people) who brought joy inside my tears. Thanks.

Joy Inside My Tears
I’ve always come to the conclusion that ‘but’ is the way
Of asking for permission to lay something heavy on ones head
So I have tried to not be the one who’ll fall into that line
But what I feel inside I think you should know

And baby that’s you, you, you
Made life’s history
Cause you’ve brought some joy inside my tears
And you have done what no one thought could be
You’ve brought some joy inside my tears

I’ve always felt that tomorrow is for those who are too much afraid
To go past yesterday and start for today
I feel that lasting moments are coming far and few between
So I should tell you of the happiness that you bring

Baby, baby it’s you, you, you
Made life’s history
Oh baby, you’ve brought some joy inside my tears
Baby you have done what no one thought could be
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears

Baby, baby you have done what no one thought could be
Hey, you brought some joy inside my tears

Gotta tell you
You, you, you made life’s history
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought you brought you brought some joy inside my tears
Baby baby baby you have done what no one thought could be
You brought some joy inside my tears

You made it baby you made it baby made it made life’s history
You you you made life’s history
You brought some joy inside my tears
You have done what no one thought could be
Nobody ever thought it would be
You have done what no one thought could be

You you you made life’s history
Gotta shout about it baby
You brought some joy inside my tears

You have done what no one thought could be
You brought some joy inside my tears
You you you made life’s history
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears
