"You matter to me."
I felt it
When you hugged me
And I actually let myself cry
There were stains on your shirt
But you didn't mind
"I promise you do,
You'll see,
You matter to me."
I expected you to pull away
So I could cry on my own
But you never did
You held me tight
"They don't pull away...
All they do is wrap you up in their arms
And hold on tight without an ounce of selfishness in it"
I felt that
You're a friend that everyone needs
Through all the screams in my head
You could hear them too
But you told me without needing to
"You matter to me
Simple and plain
And not much to ask for somebody"
I cried
While you didn't let go
For a moment I could breathe
You said that you'll never let go
I actually believe you
Because I know I matter to you
And "you matter to me"
