The Whisper of the Wind

If you hear me crying
Over what we were
What we had been

Don't let the sound of it fool you
It's just the whisper of the wind

If you happen to see me swaying
Not able to hold
Myself up again

Don't let the sight of it fool you
It's just the whisper of the wind

If I think I heard you saying
We'll always stay
The closest of friends

I won't let those thoughts confuse me
For they were whispered on the wind

If you see me fly off dear
Never to come
Back down again

Then you will know all that I've told you
Is just the whisper of the wind

Nice whisper..... I talk to the wind so many times myself. The trick is to listen to it as well. It will tell you a whole lot more
