If You’re a Bird, I’m a Bird

If you shrink to compactness, I’ll put you in my pocket 
If you grow big and towering, I’ll climb into your sleeve 

If you whisper gently, I’ll lean in close, intently
And close I will stay 
A whisper away

Because you are me
and I am you 
And whatever you name me 
I will answer to
And if you can fly 
I can too
If you’re a bird, I’m a bird
