How long does it take to heal?

Six months since you held me like you wanted to;
Sixty-four days between hello and goodbye.
Two times we lay there so still, so close.
Swing.
Seven days of silence when your love made me cry.

One day, 6 boxes, 5 bags... my car.
Eight phone calls of words that weren't said.
Two arms the emptiest they've ever been,
A million thoughts of you congested my head.

Chorus:
Hooooow long
How long, how looooong?
Hooooow long my dear,
Does it take to heal?

Three weekends of downcast eyes, lost smiles,
Four thousand texts overflowed from my heart.
Nine times I convinced myself it was over,
And yet,
There were five times more that I'd never part.

Sixteen kleenexes, 99 tears.
Three close friends, hot tea, chocolate swirl.
Time and time again I think about it; Talk about it.
I AM pursuable, a special kinda girl.

And it's eight weeks since I've seen you
With those two tired eyes that peered into mine.
And told me without saying a single word
Once we'd been right, and I'll be fine.
