I Wished

I wished that someday it would get easier,
and it has gotten easier to live with this pain.
Yes, the pain hasn’t walked out of the door,
I’ll have to learn to love it just like I love you.

I wished that someday it would get easier,
and it has become easier to put on a smile.
It’s no pretension at all; it’s this acceptance
that you have and will belong with them.

I wished that someday it would get easier,
and it has gotten easier to love you more.
It’s getting easier for the love of our bond;
we belong with each other too, after all.
