It Takes a Year

by John Pickett   May 1, 2007


Everyone tells me that "It takes a year",
"It takes a year"....."To move on"...
But what do they mean exactly?
Will it take a year to stop loving you?
Will it take a year for my best memories of you to stop flowing?
Will it take a year to stop drowning in the tears
I cry every day?

What do they know?What have they been through to
Bare witness to what has happened to us?

That was not me in 2006.
I don't know where he came from.
He was liquid evil and held me down.
He made me lose myself.
He made me lose what I loved the most...
You and me together with our little angel.

So , here I am , almost a year later..
The same tears are rolling down my face...
The same emptiness without you prevails...
The same memories playing over and over..
The same dejavu...
