But the wind always swept my words away like cloud shadows, as if it mattered more that I said them, than who heard them.

About This Quote

The wind always swept my words away like cloud shadows, as if it mattered more that I said them, than who heard them. When you’re speaking to someone, the words that come out of your mouth are meant for their ears only. And speaking to people is how we communicate with one another. When you’re speaking to someone you care about, though, you want to take the time to really say what’s on your mind. You want to get all of your ideas out so that your loved one can get the full picture.
