Winter whispers

The world gets quiet as the year fades Fading lights and slow parades Not the shimmer or the shining tree But the echoes of who we used to be It's not the cold that chills my skin It's the thought of who I let in All the moments we let go They still linger in the undertow Winter whispers in the air Memories lost yet always there In the stillness I can hear The things we said the things we feared No silver bells or carol songs Just a feeling where we belong The season turns like an open page Locking dreams inside a cage Yet in this silence I find grace In the shadows of your face Winter whispers in the air Memories lost yet always there In the stillness I can hear The things we said the things we feared No silver bells or carol songs Just a feeling where we belong We belong The season turns like an open page Locking dreams inside a cage Yet in this silence I find grace In the shadows of your face It's not the frost that cuts so deep It's the promises we couldn't keep All the words we couldn't say Like snowflakes melt and drift away Winter whispers in the air Memories lost yet always there In the stillness I can hear The things we said the things we feared No silver bells or carol songs Just a feeling where we belong We belong Winter whispers in the air A quiet hope a final prayer In the silence in the dark We'll find our way we'll find our way We'll find our way
