what does it mean to matter to someone
and what does it mean when you've known them for so long
you can't wipe them off of your heart
and they'll always be there
their name repeats in whispers and when you're about to fall asleep
on your left hand, and in the eyes of others
so that when you see them, even if you are lost and you don't know where you stand
you see home in their eyes and you know the skies have planned for the two of you
to exist maybe not together, but to always be tethered
like a string, spinning with two weights, and when they come close
it's a terrifying crash and you leave again, but when you see her again
she's there, and no one will ever make you feel like she does
and no one will ever stay beside you like she does
because no one is who she is
and no one is who you are
and in a whole universe of people who think they've fallen in love
you know the truth: only you know what love is.
Only she has ever loved you.
