It's okay to cry
When your heart aches.
It's okay to cry
When you feel like you can't handle it
It's okay to cry
When you've held it in for a long time.

It's okay to cry.
It alleviates,
It lightens
And it soothes.
It's absolutely okay to cry now,
Feel free to express yourself.

It's okay to cry
Be it in the darkness it's old friend,
Or in the light it's new acquaintance.
Just do it when you feel like it.
It's totally fine to cry.
