Why try not to cry?

Why cry?
It's not over you.
It's for you.
'Cause I'm looking past you.
Past who you are now.
And seeing the man you could be
should be, and would be.
If life hadn't beaten you so bad
that you cant love me.
Or maybe I'm just making excuses.
And we all know those are useless.
Especially now.
Especially when it counts.
And it does.
Not knowing why.
But still willing to try.
Why cry?
