Tricia Gettman - Time Fades...

Time Fades The Smile, Not The Pain. Time Drains The Water Not The Damage From The Rain. Time Fades The Tomorrow Not The Yesterday. Time Fades The Cuts But The Scars Never Go Away. Time Fades The Sweetness Not All The Things Sour. Time Fades Those Few Precious Moments But Not The Crippling Hour. Time Fades The Sun, Not It’s Brutal Remains. Time Fades The Photographs Not There Stains. Time Fades The Lessons Not All The Things That I’ve Learned. Time Puts Out The Fire But Not The Days I Burned. Time Fades The Colors Not The Glaring White. Time Fades The Bruises Not The Darkness In The Night. Time Fades The Happiness Not The Tears. Time Fades The Triumphs Not The Fears. Time Fades The Storm Not The Ocean. Time Fades The Memories Not The Emotion. Time Fades The Dreams Not The Nightmare. Time Fades The Hand Not The Times You Weren’t There. Time Fades The Beauty Not The Gloom. Time Fades The Doors And Windows Not The Empty Room. Time Fades The Love Not The Empty Lie. Time Fades The Hello But Not The Goodbye.
