How many times do I have to break down until it's done?
How many times do I need to start over until I've won?

As many as it takes, healing is not a race.
It's not about the number, give yourself some grace.

When does the pain fade and the memory disappear?
When do I get to wake up and not care if you're here?

You won't feel this way forever, but your heart will not forget.
I cannot give you a date, but it'll happen, don't fret.

Why does my chest feel so tight and my heart continue to ache?
Why do I stay up all night staring at the ceiling, wide awake?

That's only because you loved & you are not to blame.
There will soon come a day you don't react to his name.

It may feel far off, but please continue this fight.
For now it's okay to cry another night.
