A while

It took a while
Before I could write this
While I’m still thinking about
Your very last kiss.

It took a while
Before I cried again
Realising that
This wasn’t part of my plan.

It took a while
Before I started
Listening to music
About the broken hearted.

It took a while
Before I dreamed again
A faded memory
About my failed plan.

It took a while
Before I looked back to the start
To know you are the first
That took a little piece of my heart.
