Whispers
Whispers dance in the wind
Like little streamers in the breeze
There's something fragrant in the air
Brought about by a sudden gust
I'm a dreamer just like you
With a heart too large for my body
But we're only fragments
Of what we used to be
But your smile is so radiant
And it proves to me one thing
Even a hollow can find something wholesome
To away the chill so pervasive at night
We dive into fields of wheat
And throw ourselves off mountaintops
It's so very easy to believe
That pain was just fantasy
And that's what it's like when I'm with you
Because you're a whisper in the wind
And I'm the jovial streamer
Following the echoes of your laughter
The moonlight kisses my eyes
And I awake in a field of wheat
There's something fragrant in the air
Brought about by a sudden gust
I rather dread the idea I'm alone
But then I'm once again reminded
Whispers dance in the wind
Like little streamers for the eyes of a dreamer
