How do you know it's time?

How do you know it's time to walk away?

Years had already passed you by...

How do you know it's time to take your heart back?

You've given it up not even for yourself but for someone else.

How do you stop the feeling of a dreadful anticipation?

You know you'd be dying when that day comes.

How do you teach your heart to be strong?

It hasn't mend completely

and it's about to break into pieces again.

How do you teach yourself not to cry?

When tears have been your only comfort

each time loneliness befalls you.

How do you breathe knowing things are gonna be over soon?

You know you wouldn't be here had you given up a long time ago.

How do you know it's time to start a new life?

You were always contented with what you have...

careful of not asking too much

because God might not give you

the one that you wanted most.

How do you know the pain is too much for you to take?

You've been there all along

embracing it like comforting pillows

no matter what form it took.

You struggled...

but you faced them nonetheless...

only to find out all will be lost in the end.

How will I know it's time to walk away?

I'm still here

hoping against hope

for something that might never come.

...I have been waiting alone all along.
