I Whispered

I whispered I love you among the stars
They smiled when they heard your name
The moon didn't shine as bright that night
For she was envious of your fame

I whispered I need you in the cool autumn breeze
For it might carry my need to your heart
I prayed for the wind to bring us together
So we won't feel we're so far apart

I whispered I miss you to the birds taking flight
For one was a snow white dove
He cried when I told him how lonely I was
So I sent him to bring you my love

I whispered your name so the angels could hear
They smiled as a tear found their cheek
They told me our love was one of a kind
On earth, it was truly unique

I whispered goodbye as they lowered you down
It was the last time that I saw your face
But I'll whisper hello when we meet again
In another time and place
