When open hearts are stressed and tested
And you lose the love invested
Most of us take time to heal
And morn the loss of something real
It will take days or months or years
To heal your scars and dry your tears
The wounds are deep, the cuts cause pain
But from the ash you will regain
Your self respect and joy again
The damage done will fall away
And then you’ll love another day
As men and women often find
That the tender touch of one who’s kind
Can heal faster than a tic or tock
Of an ever turning clock
So hear my words I say to you
Once you’re joy flows your veins through
You will rejoice and then unbidden
Love will return from where it’s hidden
