Sweet Nothings

Your compliments mean nothing—

Sweet nothings

Your sweet nothings whispered in my ear

Give me your worries, do not fear

Your answer to the nothingness is here

I love the way you hold my hand

I love the ways you understand

You may not know the meanings of the universe

Or decipher the patterns of the stars

But the sweet nothings in those verses

Make me smile in delight

For sweet pea you are quite the sight

And I love gazing into your green eyes

Those eyes that could melt my insides

Those eyes that pierce into me

They see me for who I really am: beautiful

Your sweet nothings helped me see

The beauty in me

So therefore I’d rather have

Your sweet nothings

Than nothing at all

And if I had to choose

Between you and a song

I’d write a song about you

So I didn’t have to choose at all
