Just another casualty.<br /> It&#039;s sad but true.<br /> And even dead I&#039;m still ahead<br /> of most of you.


You sweep across my face
Lift up my chin
Whisper so soft I can barely hear you.
Even though I can't make out the words
I can tell every syllable is important.
You have that effect on me.
You brush your hand across my cheek
and you expose my inner secrets.
I dont want to hold back.
You are as loving and as gentle as you please.
You have that effect on me,
but I guess you can expect that from the breeze.

This is actually about a boy, not the breeze. Just a comparison. :]
