Every day, every week, every month that passes by we drift farther away from our old normal The new normal starts to settle and make itself at home It's over stayed it's unwelcomed arrival. I ask it politely to leave but His plans dive deeper in and slowly washes over all of mine. The pain tastes salty as it pours out of my heart His will be done, not mine With the wake of the morning, the sun shining in so bright, it forces me to rise, my thoughts flooding right back as soon as I open my eyes "When will this feel like ages ago", that song plays over for the 30th time. Hoping one day I'll sing along and not cry The coffee tastes darker, the wind feels cooler, the view where I seek to find Him The seasons are changing but I'm not ready, each outlet refuses to shine
