Time Will Heal Me...

Time will heal me, of that I am sure...
but the road will be rocky
and I am sure to stumble
many times before I walk with ease...
I know it will take all of my energy,
but I will win this silent battle
between myself and my memories...
And when the day comes that I understand,
I will be free to start living
and to stop hurting...
The memories I hold of you will
no longer cause pain
but will become a permanent part of my past,
a part that will help me with my future...
The lessons I will learn,
the tears I will shed
and the confusion that I feel,
will turn into understanding...
making this time of pain worthwhile,
for I will grow...
