As the Days Go By

As the days go by,

the pain eases slightly.

I got out of bed today.

I only cried once today

when I thought of you.

 

As the days go by,

I miss you more and more,

but your disappearance

from my life seems to be

more natural and less abrupt.

 

As the days go by,

I can’t stop thinking of you

and all the memories we have.

I can get through the day again.

I can resume my routine.

 

As the days go by

It’s easier to face the future

and to leave the past behind.

I know I’ll see you again,

but good things take time.
