So What?!!

I’m old enough to be trusted Smart enough to make my own decisions Strong enough to love you Even through all the hate No one understands me Wonders why I love you Why we’re together Why does it matter to them? I know why That’s all that matters They ask questions Say it’s not going to last But they aren’t us They don’t know anything about us Yet have everything to say about us They think they know what I want What I need Yet they don’t really Never even asked me Just told me But I need you That’s all there is to it No matter how I try to get away Everywhere I look Everything I think about There you are No one is good enough for me So they say If you’re not good enough for me So what I don’t want better I’m not leaving until I’m ready and I’m not ready yet And neither are you We love each other for multiple reasons Which don’t have to be discussed Not with them anyway As long as you love me and I love you So what?
