How long would it take?
Till I erase those memories.
How long will it take?
Till I sleep without reminiscing.
How long will it take?
Till my pillow goes dry again.
How long will it take?
Till I stop waiting.
How long will it take?
Till I come to the understanding
That it's the end.
How long will it take?
Till I wake without your name coming to mind first.
How long will it take?
Till my clock starts moving again.
How long will it take?
Till I stop escaping reality with sleep.
How long will it take?
Till I stop holding on to the promises.
How long will it take?
Till I forgive you for leaving when you were needed the most.
Just tell me how long it will take.
