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. ~not done~
