the wind blows in the trees

The wind blows in the trees
as we run and giggle
I tag her and she screams
and she laughs as if she'd been tickled
we're no older than five
she picks the crumpled fall leaves out of her hair
I had never felt so alive
as I did when she was there
we go to her house, drink apple juice and watch scooby-doo
and I knew at that moment that there was no were I would rather be
having fun, and we would never run out of things to do
there was never anyone that meant so much to me

The wind blows in the trees
and we sit on a blanket, our feet buried in the sand
as we just lay and stare out along the beach
I ask, she refuses, so I pick her up and carry her off dry land
she screams and she giggles, playfully smacking my back
it starts to sting but I pretend not to notice
as I throw her in the water and listen to her splash
she comes out of the water, and I lose focus
she smiles, then she tackles me, into the dark abyss
and although I cant see, I reach out and feel her soft skin
I knew then, that there wasnt a moment with her that I could stand to miss
I knew that this would be a moment where I would remember when

The wind blows in the trees
and I look around, no one in sight
I watch her scream and swat at a bee
and I watch, mesmerized at the way sunlight reflects off her hair
I knew then, that the time had come
my best friend now, my best friend forever
I was nervous, if she said no, I would have been anything but numb
but I could not stop myself, I knew I loved her
she cries and she smiles, "of course" she sais
she gives me a warm embrace, and I feel tears touch my neck
I should have known, but I could never guess
the way this girl could turn me into such a wreck

the wind blows in the trees
but I cant hear it through the shut window
your in bed, Im beside you and theres no were Id rather be
I cry, and wish you didnt hurt so
I do my part, Im there when you wake
I pat your hand, I do all the right things
You smile at me, but your half baked
I crack open the window, to listen as a bird sings
I turn around, and watch how the cancer eats you, and it finally ends
I smile for your sake, knowing that you have spread your wings and flown
I go home that night and drink, accepting the condolensces it lends
and I thank the Lord that your pain is done
I close my eyes, and its not the moments that we missed that I see
its those warms summer days that we would sit and listen, as the wind blew through the trees
