For the first time
In the longest time
I found myself crying

Not because of loneliness,
Emptiness
Or a sadness inside me

I cried for relief
I cried in peace
Because of the joy in my life

I cried because for the first time
In the longest time
Everything was right

And for the first time
In the longest time
I found myself crying

Because I’m complete,
Purely happy –
And I don’t need a man
Beside me.
