Default Help Wanted from Help Wanted! Thanks again, everyone! ^o^

Sorry for posting silly questions again as I really need help for the passage below. Thanks again for helping! T_T

I still remember when you went into the departure hall at the airport, my eyes became red and the tears shed from my eyes! Every time when I think of this, I always laugh because I think I am very silly. I knew you would come back, but I still cry.

Would anyone help proof-read the above passage? Thanks

Try:
  • I still remember when you went into the departure hall at the airport. My eyes became red and the tears flowed from my eyes! Every time I think of that I laugh, because I think I was very silly. I knew you would come back, but I cried anyhow.

(The word still can be ambiguous, since it has more than one meaning.)

What do you think?

:D
