Moving On

I was sitting on a lonely bench It was on a hill Far away from all the cityscreams And blinding citylights It was a cloudless night A soothing breeze came up As I watched the moon rise slowly A shimmering moment of Eternal beauty There were always less and less stars by her side Each time I got to see her The sky felt so empty Where have they gone? Maybe they left Maybe they just moved on Maybe it was time Maybe they just moved on As the moon looked at me I felt uneasy I wanted to explain But before I could open my mouth I noticed She was just staring through me Like I was nothing at all I looked at her What is all the beauty in the world If you can’t hold it Maybe it’s not meant for you to hold Maybe it’s just meant for you to catch a glimpse And start hoping And start dreaming Forever I raised my head high Watched the sky Far above the moon Maybe I should leave Maybe I should move on Maybe it was time Maybe I should move on
