When?

When does the pain go away?
How long til the hurt subsides?
How long til my heart
  doesn't ache when I think of you-
  til my soul isn't breaking inside?
When will you not make me weak?
When will I speak
  your name
  just the same
  as I did before it meant you?
When will the emptiness fill?
Please tell me that someday it will.
Some remarkable day
  no matter how far away
  will I think of you and smile?
