Why do you hurt me so,

don't you know how hard it is to let go?

Everyday that I try to keep you out of my mind,

all in vain, those thoughts are on rewind

Sifting through the grains of yesterday,

I'm losing the wholeness of today,

My near and dear ones ask me everyday

Are you alright? Are you okay?

What can I say to them which is believable,

when I don't believe in it myself?

Perhaps its time I moved on

look ahead to the future, promise of a new dawn.

The birds and the beautiful trees are not for me to see,

but perhaps its time I appreciate the cool breeze ...
