The Ocean's Whisper
It's been so long.
It's been so painful.
The choices I've made,
Haven't ended so great.
Then I saw him.
Everything started to go slow.
And when I saw him,
I found the courage I lost long ago.
Then I heard the ocean's whisper,
And I knew God showed me his blinker.
Though I don't know why,
Penguins can't fly.
And I've tried,
So hard to let the last one go.
So why should I,
Let my heart fall hard again.
I heard the ocean's whisper,
So I listened.
I got the courage,
Of a baby bird to fly.
So I tried because I haven't loved lately,
And you said maybe.
I found myself again.
Then I heard the ocean's whisper,
And I knew God showed me his blinker.
Though I don't know why,
Penguins can't fly.
And I've tried,
So hard to let the last one go.
So why should I,
Let my heart fall hard again.
I heard the ocean's whisper,
So I listened.
I got so worked up,
Because you said maybe.
I watched the clock.
The last thing I heard,
Was tick tock.
My heart sunk.
You never arrived.
I know most of this doesn't rhyme,
But the point is,
He doesn't have the time
Then I heard the ocean's whisper,
And I knew God showed me his blinker.
Though I don't know why,
Penguins can't fly.
And I've tried,
So hard to let the last one go.
So why should I,
Let my heart fall hard again.
I heard the ocean's whisper,
So I listened.
But even now,
The thought of you makes my heart twinkle.
