The Conversation

Whispered words
Floating on a breeze
Darting past cars
Soaring through trees

Words of passion
Words of hate
Words of dreams
Words too late

A conversation spoken
Never meant to be heard
A conversation spoken
With all the wrong words

The sounds have been cast
The ears have received
In the twilight of the night
The conversation reached me
