I hear you talking, but I can’t make out the words
I realize it’s because you are uncertain if I’ll care,
so you mutter with each breath
Security doesn’t befriend you,
so you trust not what you say,
fearing that we’ll all betray your innermost feelings
you opt to say no more,
Each time you whisper,
I wish I knew what to say,
because I am certain that I do care what you say,
but each time I near you, you turn away,
until one day a just hold you, and plead to know
what you want to say,
and each word flows quickly, and happily,
all the while you did know what to say,
no longer will their be whispers in the wind
