It Takes Time

Not long ago, I had a little kid Who walked the earth so freely and soared above the wind I feared the end The end of a life worth living Years have passed, not many yet not few My kid was ill with cancer and I forgot to tell you You almost missed the funeral You came just in time to know how I'm feeling Alas, things take time and time was moving slow It hurts me that I'm used to watching my boy grow I'm fine, yet so broken So broken I can't take it anymore Yes, I want him back, I want him back so bad But you can't tell the reaper to give back the soul he had I'm not fine, I'm so broken I'll be in my room crying ever more You came to me, with your face soaked in tears You hugged me tight and told me "everything will be fine, dear" I was sure you loved me all over again for your eyes did the talking Alas, it takes time, you left us here alone But you came back as soon as our boy was too far gone I see him in my dreams I sometimes see him walking here around me He speaks to me, says nothing but he seems to be alive Is it his soul, is it him? Does he miss his lovely life? You see him too, you know And you tell me that he wants to talk to me I'm fine, I know he's here But I wish he spoke one last time to you And me
