A little while
That's how long it took
At certain moments of the day
I watched in horror as your body shook
As I look back from this day
I try to be joyful, But I dont have
the strength, the courage, the heart.

"He's gone away, for to stay a little while
But he's coming back" but is he?
Is my hope falsified? No
His arm is around me as I sob
He walks beside me when others are scarce.
As I look at myself today, I realize
He is me internally.

You have been trained to stand beside me
As I go through life, feeling hollow
But now I can remind myself that
You are me, You are my shadow
You are the breeze that tousels my hair
You are the hug that I need so very late in the evening...
It only took a little while.
