In Time

Surprised by my reaction
I should be overjoyed
Sadness fills my mind

Much time has passed now
Wanting to share happiness
The tears flow freely

A beautiful occurrence
A natural part of life
Hits me like a brick

Sad and happy co-exist
My heart unsure how to feel
Pain I hide from all

Silently suffer alone
The wound re-opens
A little each time

Feelings so familiar
Subconscious takes over
I’ve no control

Selfish thoughts
Allow me some space
In a while, It’ll be fine
