I promised myself I wasn't going to cry anymore

I promised myself I wasn't going to cry anymore... I'm trying really trying...I don't want to cry; I don't want to hurt. I just want to smile and be happy again. I need to be held, I need to feel special. I need to be loved once again. I promised myself I wasn't going to cry anymore... I tried to hide the tears, all of the pain, and all of my fears. And not show anyone that I'm still hurting inside. I know my heart is still beating, I can still feel the rhythm of it beating. But I still have this aching feeling inside. I promised myself I wasn't going to cry anymore.... The tears just start flowing, and begin overflowing. The smiles and laughter disappear. The fears of tomorrow reappear. Someone please tell me...how do I make the tears stop flowing? How do you kiss a lost love gone...make an aching heart strong? Maybe then all of the pain, all of the tears, and the fears of tomorrow will disappear. And all of my smiles, all of my laughter, and the old me will reappear. I promised myself I wasn't going to cry anymore....
