Just Needing Time

The night was warm and breezy
And I needed some time alone
So I sat on a rock from the hillside
Giving my thoughts the freedom to roam

The stars twinkled across the sky
Along with the moon shining bright
I took in the sweet smell of evening
And was thoroughly enjoying this night

My roaming thoughts settled on you
The reason I needed some time
You swore undying love for me
The love you offered would be all mine

But I saw you with another
And to her you swore your undying love
So when you offered the same to me
I needed answers from up above

This love you offered so freely
Has heartache all spelled out
I am looking for true honest love
Something you clearly know nothing about

So my thoughts are settled tonight
As the warm breeze caresses my hair
I have found the answers I seek
With the moon and the stars everywhere 

Now my roaming thoughts are quiet
As I take in this  glorious night
The stars twinkle across the sky
Along with the moon shining bright.
