Analysis of Whispers
Whispers about me and you,
but I like it better when I'm just whispering to you.
Starry nights are just starry sheets,
but that's okay with me, too.
Don't think your fluorescent lights
shine as bright as mine.
Don't think your tear-stained tracks
run as deep as mine,
but that's fine with me, too.
