Answer the questions

NO TEARS, NO FEARS!

Bitter tears are dropping from her bright blue eyes. Sitti ng in her tiny living room, decorated with pottery, brought from her last visit in Italy, she is trying to write a letter. Not any letter, a very special one, a goodbye letter, to her lover, a young and poor musician she met 2 years ago when she was on a trip to Greece to see the temples she had always wanted to see.

When she met him, a young, good-looking man, almost a boy, she was charmed. He seemed so lonely, so unhappy. First, she acted as a mother, she gave him advice. But time went by and they become lovers. She couldn't believe that she, an elderly woman had that chance to be loved by this charming man. She was in heaven and so was he. They swore not to leave each other never more. Every day they became closer, their souls mingled, they were one.

Then came the phone call from the hospital. Her beloved mother had had a heart attack. As she was an only child, it was her duty to take care of her mother, to assist her in her last moments. She couldn't turn her back to this duty. She had to go.

" And Anthony, she is thinking now. How can I tell him? He needs me too. Shall I lose my happiness to make my mother happy? Shall I care about my own happiness and Anthony's? "

Looking out of the large window she takes the pen to write but the right words won't come. Everything seems so shallow, so common. She tears the paper several times. " Impossible, I can't. I'll go away without a word. He'll search for me for a while and eventually he will forget me and that will be all right".

Pen in her hand, she tries once more and suddenly the words flow:

No tears, no fears, remember there is always tomorrow

So, what if we have to part

We will be together

Your kiss, your smile

Our memories I'll treasure forever.
