Memories Unspoken (Terzanelle)

In the Mist of the night
As I sit alone
Looking upon the stars

And calling you my own
Longing for you
As I sit alone

I enjoy the view
And write a note
Longing for you

But this I will promote
As I sit and enjoy the ocean's breeze
And write a note

With such ease
I see your face
As I sit and enjoy the ocean's breeze

My heart will beat that much faster
In the Mist of the night
Looking upon the stars
Just knowing this was all a big disaster
