A Matter of Time (Conscience speaking to her broken heart)

by Annabelle Lim   Jun 30, 2005


Dearest, I am very proud of you, and you know why
Did I not tell you so, that time will come your eyes will dry?
Though you were really doubtful, I insisted
It is only a matter of time, to you I said

You loved the color gray for far too long
And you hated listening to any lovesong
You look pale and thin, in the middle of the road
Looking as if you were carrying the heaviest load

Every moment, I try and tried some more to cheer you up
Keep telling you that your tears will soon just stop
Again, you were doubtful so I insisted
It’s just a matter of time, I said

Day after day, I encouraged your broken soul
You asked me if you’ll ever again be whole
But I know deep inside you knew the answer
Because five years ago you have been there

We talk a lot and you were always skeptical
I said to myself, to change you, I shall
So round and round in circles, we debated everyday
With me always ending up, to have the last, last say

I can’t recall how frequently I said to you, “move on”
If you decided to forgive, then you shouldn’t mourn
Melancholy you can be even when you’re not alone
I said please don’t let sadness stay, for it dries up your bones

Every night I stayed with you until you fall asleep
I see how much you’re trying to lose the pain that you still keep
But we both know, He’ll never give you more that you can bear
So everyday you wish and hope, but just could not stop the tears

Finally I succeeded with what I said I’d do
Time came when you said, “I’ll never stay this blue”
I know it’s not an instant thing but still I’m proud of you
It’s just a matter of time I said, and you agreed it’s true

Again I wanna say, I will always proud of you
Now you’re really smiling, a smile that is so true
And did I hear you saying to someone who’s been hurt
It’s only a matter of time, you insisted without a doubt
