It's Been a Minute

It's been a minute since I had that real love 
That real touch , That means so much
that is hard to forget .It's been a minute
since I had a hug that means so much
that melts away a broken heart. Its
been a minute since I had a smile that
last for hours. It's been a minute since
I thought good thoughts about how love 
starts and never ends. Its been a minute 
since I laid in some arms that were big and
strong and I know that were I belong
Its been a minute since love was made 
and I was not afraid if I woke up and
was still happy to see you stay. It's been
a minute to know if that its real and that my heart
has finally healed from the pain and the shame
but till then . I still feel it will be a minute before
I can heal.
