I read somewhere, once, that crying defies scientific explanation. Tears are only meant to lubricate the eyes. There is no real reason for tear glands to overproduce tears at the behest of emotion.

There’s a man called the Doctor who lives on a

We danced our youth in a dreamed of city,

Venice, paradise, proud and pretty,
We lived for love and lust and beauty,

We thought ourselves eternal then,
Our glory sealed by God’s own pen.
But paradise, we found is always frail,
Against man’s fear will always fail.

Mr. Weasley: But she wants you. And after all, Remus, young and whole men do not necessarily remain so.

There were no butterflies to be found,
only a salt-churning ocean,

when I first saw you.

The waves of my hair matched those
in my uneasy stomach,

and I could hear my heart

beat, beat, beating out of my chest.

If only I looked as delicate as I felt in that moment;
I got the feeling that’s the sort of girl you went after.

I was much too tall, too clumsy, and

my cheeks weren’t rosy enough.

Later I learned I’m much too hard on myself,
and those butterflies danced around my head

like a halo

when you kissed me.

Puisque j’en ai les larmes aux yeux
Que nos mains ne tiennent plus ensemble
Que moi aussi je tremble un peu
Parce que je ne vais plus attendre

Puisqu’on va reprendre la route
Puisque nous sommes proches de la nuit
Puisque ce monde a le vertige
Puisqu’on sera un jour puni

Puisque je rampe comme un enfant
Et que je n´ai plus de chemise
Que c’est le bon Dieu qui nous fait
Que c’est le bon Dieu qui nous brise

Puisque rien ne peut arriver
Puisqu’il faut qu´il y ait une justice
Je suis né dans cette caravane
Et nous partons. Allez, viens.

Allez, viens N.

But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there, not even poverty, not sudden money, nor the moonlight, nor right and wrong nor the breathing of someone who lay beside you in the moonlight.

Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come.

The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don’t want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
