I fell in love with you
Whether or not we were in love
or that you were able to love me completely
It doesn't matter, so much
You still loved me with your heart
And I still fell

And as I fell, I clung to your heart that was mine
Hitting the earth expecting your safe landing at my side
But I never saw the cord strapped on that pulled you back
I know the heart I gave is tucked secretly in your pocket still
And I still hold yours, no matter how many falls I take
They don't matter, so much

It doesn't matter how many deeds you have to do to me
I don't scream in pain as the imagined is made physical, not any more
But, I cry, and I don't care how many more the tears bring
I have your heart, Your good heart
I will return it again one day
To be given back with thoughts that count.
