Just Let Me Cry

Hilary Weeks

I believe that everything happens for a reason

We’re not just tossed by the wind or left in the hands of fate

But sometimes life sends a storm that’s unexpected

And we’re forced to face our deepest pain

When I feel the heartache begin to pull me under

I dig my heels in deep and I fight to keep my ground

Still at times the hurt inside grows stronger

And there’s nothing I can do but let out

Just let me cry

I know it’s hard to see

But the pain I feel

Isn’t going away today

Just let me cry

Till every tear has fallen

Don’t ask when and don’t ask why

Just let me cry

When I agreed that God could put this heart inside me

I understood that there would be a chance that it would break

But I know He knows exactly how I’m feeling

And I know in time He’ll take the pain away

But for now

Just let me cry

I know it’s hard to see

But the pain I feel

Isn’t going away today

Just let me cry

Till every tear has fallen

Don’t ask when and don’t ask why

Just let me cry

I have felt joy the kind that makes my heart want to sing

And so my tears are not a surrender

I’ll feel that way again

But for now

For this moment

Just let me cry

I know it’s hard to see

But the pain I feel

Isn’t going away today

Just let me cry

Till every tear has fallen

Don’t ask when and don’t ask why

Just let me cry

I believe that everything happens for a reason

This last week was hard.  I am extremely happy for my sister-law as she is expecting her second child.  The news was a surprise and the tears just wouldn't stop.  I know that at times that my wonderful husband can't read the emotions behind the tears. (then again what man can)  But the tears were not because she is pregnant, the tears were because I cannot.  The tears were accumulation of the realization that that dream is no longer within my grasp. 

I've yearned to know why, even though it isn't my place to ask.  So "for this moment just let me cry".
