Just because the hands turn
And time moves on;
Just because the tears have stopped,
And a little bit of living begins;
Just because I seem fine,
And don’t hide my eyes,
Or because I can breathe again,
And the pain subsides;
Just because the screams are silenced,
And the silence doesn’t scream;
Just because the world turns,
And the sun shines,
Or because the trees grow,
And the flowers bloom;
Just because the wind blows,
And the seasons change;
Or because a minute turns to an hour,
And an hour to a day, a day to a year;
Just because I don’t hear your voice anymore!
And because, I don’t see your face anymore;
I can’t forget you, all because.
