You are not to cry, said Brain, Crying is for the weakest in spirit, the poorest of souls, the saddest of hearts ...

Are you not blessed? For I have loved you with a love that crossed borders, went beyond horizons and outside nations, through the darkest of nights and the brightest of days. I have loved you with a love that was willing to forgive all your iniquities and accept your shortcomings.

Hush, love. You are not to cry.
