TIME AND LOVE


Over the years we experience hurt

By those whom we love the most

We allow it to grow and tear at our hearts

Until it lingers as an ever-present ghost.

 

Harsh words that are said during a family rift

Cause confusion to hinder our way

We justify our anger while defending our pride

With our feelings of deceit and betray.

 

The years go by; we go on with our lives

Without resolving the distant breach

"It does not matter," we say to ourselves

As we keep them beyond our reach.

 

If we only knew that Time and Love

Are the only things we have in this world

And the Time spent apart; the Love that we lost

Is more valuable than the harsh words hurled.

 

But it's never too late to make that first move

To heal the wounds that maim our heart

One telephone call or a letter by mail

Is the beginning of a brand new start.
