Does it really matter
if you are still holding on?
We all have two hands
and your arms are quite long
enough for us both,
so I'll sit and wait
until you tire out
and have to equate
your love for her
to the passage of time
and your feelings for me
to the pain you still find.
I know I am not
the person you see
when you close your eyes
and hear the sea,
but that doesn't mean
I'm going to leave
because all that I want
is you here with me.
So it doesn't matter
if one hand or two
will be tight around me
as long as it's you
that is holding me tight
and giving me love.
If that's what you call it
when it's all just a bluff.
So does it really matter
what I feel is real?
Do I really care?
Is it such a big deal?
My heart isn't broken
and you can see me laughing
to be here beside you,
isn't this happy?
