I like to cry, but

I cry watching movies, stolen kisses and tragic loss.

I cry reading books, shared pain, or exalted joy.

I particularly cry with music, feel the soul and community, and all the things that I'm missing.

But I didn't cry at the death that I knew, or the pain or the loss, or the height of my joy.

It's not that I felt nothing, I just couldn't bring forth the tears.

I like to cry, but worry it's not real.

I cry with the world, but not when I should feel.
