A Few Minutes Alone

All I needed were a few minutes alone.
Time to gather my thoughts
To spend time...with me.

A few minutes alone
To come to some understanding
To clear my mind
To make a conscience...decision.

A few minutes alone
To breathe the clear air that returns...
To hear the birds that sing...
To listen to the song in my heart that only comes alive when you're not around

A few minutes alone
To zero in,
On this need that is inside me
Anxiously waiting to come out.

The need...
To be happy
To be needed
To be loved
To be desired
To be cherished

All I needed were a few minutes alone

...and with that time alone, I have made my decision.
