does any of it matter
when you know you are loved
more than you ever thought you could be loved

when the best thing you feel all day long
maybe the best thing you have ever felt
your entire life
is her
next to you
holding you so tight
closer closer
close as close can be
soft skin on soft skin

those moments
late in the night
early in the morning
when you feel like one

how your heart swells
until it is more full
than you ever believed
could be

when you know
the saddest thing that could ever happen
to anyone in the world, anywhere, ever
would be to lose that love

when you know
the wholeness of her being
is so bright so beautiful
so shining
it can sometimes hurt your eyes

and still all you ever want to do
is everything you could ever do
to help it shine more bright

how could anything else
ever, ever matter
anything but that love
your only love
the only love you ever want
and ever will want
for ever and ever
her love
forever

how could any other thing ever matter
