After a While

After a while it hurts less
To see your pain
To hear your name 
After a while it doesn't make me a mess
To see your friends 
To hear you make amends 
After a while it quits hurting 
To see our favorite place 
To hear about your race
After a while I quit searching 
To hear your choice  
To hear your voice 
After a while I don't cry 
When I think about you 
When I the sky is your favorite shade of blue 
After a while I don't try
When you call
When i pass you in the hall
After a while I'm happy 
When I don't think of you all day 
When you don't hurt me in every single way 
After a while I realize I'm better off
When I see you lie 
When I see how much you didn't try
After a while 
I can smile
