The Tears Came

I cried myself to sleep
Because I couldn't stop
I couldn't stop thinking
I couldn't stop feeling
I couldn't stop being
And I realized
I wasn't crying because of the past
I wasn't crying because of old promises
I wasn't crying because of what once was
I wasn't crying to turn back the clock
I wasn't crying to change what was
I wasn't crying to go back again
I cried because of the now
Because I could feel
Because I could think
Because I could be here now
And the tears came
Not because of who I was
But because of who I am
I cried myself to sleep
Thinking of tomorrow
