A day has passed

A day has passed since we talked
Yet I feel the tangy taste
I still feel the lump,
My stifled, wounded cry

A day has passed, yes
I still feel the pain and joy
Your words sinking in, reality finally settling in
Piercing deep through the heart

A day has passed
When you talked of how you were
The struggles and the pain
How you broke the chains

Your story encouraging me, inspiring me
Convincing me, assuring me
Despite still being broken
You're just taking it one day at a time

A day has passed
Yet I'm still emotional
To finally let all the dam loose,
Feeling so defeated and low
But never wanting to lose hope

A day passed since I cried
I cried with those bystanders watching us
Because you made me realize
What and who are important to me

To love and cherish
And give the proper time to people and things
After all, there is just only one me
A me whom I should never forget
