THE TEARS THAT REMIND ME OF YOU

You told me to traverse the world
to forget my thoughts of you,
you told me that they would pale
before the 7 wonders of the world,
You said that if I saw things
that were more beautiful than your eyes,
that my tears would dry and that I would move on.
But I have traversed the world and searched high and low
and I have found nothing that was more beautiful than you.

I have sailed across the brine,
and walked across the alps,
and I'm still wiping my nose
not from the cold,
but from the tears that remind me of you.
