Nothing Matters Unless
Would it matter if he knows you
better than you know yourself?
That when you go flying off the edge
He’s there pulling you up in a harnessed-ledge
Would it matter if he majors your life’s history?
That even if he could write a book,
He chooses to pursue a master of your future
And plans to graduate as your lifetime cure.
Would it matter if he surprises you each time?
That if you cried the first time
To what follows was an unexpected kind.
The feeling that you thought you have already thrown behind.
Would it matter if he sees you every lunch?
Braves every dark alleys and forges the rain.
Trying to keep you full even If his pocket is hungry.
Offers you the last sip even if he is thirsty.
Would it matter if he calls in to work?
Just to take care of your sick self at lurk
Forces to see you even if you pushes back.
Brings you pills even if he alone is my remedy stack
Would it matter if I love him this much?
That I’d equally do all of these for him
Even if we are one bridge and too many traffic lights away
I’ll always be there even under the stars’ soiree.
Would it really matter?
A façade in an under-skin of delusions
He matters.
Even if this rhyme doesn’t. I love him.
The world wears meaning when he is around.
This matters, all of it matters.
Even when it doesn’t make sense
This affection called love is all the matters.
