How Long?

How long? How long does it take? 

How long does it take before you stop thinking about someone every day? Until you can stop wanting to see them? Wishing they were there? How long until your heart catches up with your brain, and you stop feeling sad because someone isn't there that you shouldn't be looking for in the first place? 

I looked it up online. I tired to Google it- to find out how long it takes until people stop waiting for someone who is gone. 

The answers didn't help. Most people said that they were still waiting. They just tried to make it through each day, They just try to distract themselves and stay busy. Some of them said they still cried every day, and it had been years... 

How long until I can feel whole again?
