Steve Ricketts - Time!

How long do I keep on grieving for I haven't
got a clue. Is there a special time that draws
it to a close. Is there a time to stop this hurting,
for they say my pain will ease, in time I'll start my
healing and lose this pain in me. Am I doing
something wrong because I really can't be sure
all that I can really say is for me, time has stood
quite still.

They tell me memory's start to fade but they
didn't say how long it takes and all I really know,
is each day it's your voice I still listening for.
Time may make adjustment in the way we
live our lives, make this burden of our loss
just that bit easier to bare.

Time will help us lose those habits we both
possess. No more do I look for you sitting in
your chair. No more mistaken with the tea I
pour. Yes time has help remove the little things
that made us such a pair but time cannot erase
you from my life. Because you are all I think
about now that your not here.
