If You'Re a Bird

"If you're a bird, I'm a bird"
I don't care if it sounds absurd

You trace my palm, to feel my skin
Stand in front, to shield the wind

A storm won't delay your serenade
For my attention, you'll stop a parade

"If you jump, I jump" we'll both freeze to death
Among my gifts bestowed, you’ll have my final breath

You dance like a clown just to see me laugh
You seem to believe, I'm your better half

You put me to bed, after too much to drink
Finish my sentences when I'm too tired to think

"If you're a bird, I'm a bird"
I don't care if it sounds absurd

This is sweet, as long as in the process you do not lose yourself.
