Who saw who first?
Once locked eyes,
it did not matter
A whirlwind romance
Once it began,
nothing mattered
He said, "I just got out of something serious,"
Once he touched her,
that did not matter
He said "I love you" first
And when she said it back
it did not matter
Once recluse, he brought her out
Nothing mattered
Until he began to distance himself
And suddenly
It all mattered
The way he used to look at her,
this mattered
The way he used to touch her,
didn't that matter?
"You said you loved me"
Now, what's the matter?
It was a love that made nothing else matter
And suddenly she was left wondering
Why it was her,
who no longer mattered.
