Would it matter if I told you,
That my love has finally died?
That at last I have succeeeded-
After many times I’ve tried.

In putting down the feelings
I’ve so long displayed toward you-
Would it matter if I told you-
Even if it isn’t true?

Would it stir your heart to anger
If I found me someone knew,,,
And said and did the things for her-
I used to do for you?

Like take her out to dinner-
Even though I’ve very tired...
And try my best to give her,
All the things that she desired?

Would it matter if I called you,
Just to talk for one last time..
And read the last few love songs-
That I wrote to you in rhyme?

And to say, “Farewell, my darling
I just called to say goodbye”...
I just wondered, Would it matter-
Even if it’s all a lie?.

This is quite despairing, yet very well formed. It's left me pondering...

You may wear your holster on your hip ... but you wear your heart on your sleeve.
I love this!
And, yes ... it would matter.
For I would look into your eyes,
and see straight to your heart.

I agree with Andrew...the ones I have truely loved in my life I still love. Even the ones I have had to let go of. I think it does matter, as long as it is the truth.
