Analysis of Secrets only us and the wind will know
Lilies are what she smells of
Her hair is brown-gold
Her smile is full of love
Her hand is my favorite hand to hold
She is beautiful
A breeze flows through our hair as we laugh loudly
We feel the afternoon dew on our toes
The flowers surrounding us dance proudly
As we whisper secrets only us and the wind will know
The air is now colder
The leaves turn brown
Staying close as we grow older
I wish to never see her frown,
White snow falls gently upon the dancing flowers
We had still grew old together
I could stay with her for hours
Even through the coldest weather
The rain comes more commonly
Through the years we’ve remained close
She speaks to me solemnly
Her smile is what I love the most
Once again we feel the afternoon dew
We feel the soft wind blow
Feeling a memory we once knew
Whispering secrets only us and the wind will know.
