I Need Time

I need time.

I need time to think about how I feel.
I need time to realize what I did wrong.
I need time to make everything seem real.
I need time to make me strong.

What I did, how you felt,
I apologize for how you dealt.
I am sorry for causing you pain.
But I beg of you, it is not me to blame.

I just need time.
Time for both of us to part,
so that we can become closer in our hearts.

Please allow me this time.
Allow me to be free one last time.
Let me live, but don't let my heart be mine.
Take it as a gift.
A gift of love and sunshine.
Time has come, oh how so kind......
