a man's tears

I almost never heard about men crying. Society has made it a frail thing for them to cry over anything. But in reality, men do have the knack to weep at times. It has nothing to do with weakness, I believe.

The very first time I did see him tear up, I realized that he actually felt something. Wondering oftentimes why parting always has to be this difficult, I then realized that his every tear shadowed an unexplainable inward tenderness. With it, he’s gotten a deep respect from me and I count it a privilege to see a man's tears. It only shows he has enough trust in me to be unafraid in being vulnerable even in my presence. I was given the motivation to create a better understanding of the virile dwelling in him.
