We haven’t spoken for a while,
We never felt the need to be in constant touch,
We start a conversation exactly where we left,
Laughing, teasing, listening with the same enthusiasm,
I never told you how much I missed you,
I always told myself it doesn’t matter!

You have seen me go through thick and thin,
You never lent me a shoulder to cry on,
You never showed me much sympathy,
You gave me solutions, told me this was temporary,
I never told you how much your support meant,
I always told myself it doesn’t matter!

You are crazy, yet wise,
You are selfish, yet kind,
You need money, but don’t want it,
You take risks, you are never afraid,
I never told you how much I respect you,
I always told myself it doesn’t matter!

You love women, and respect them,
You love love, but you are scared,
Courage isn’t exactly your forte, honesty is,
You are honest about your fear,
I never told you  I found your honesty refreshing,
I always told myself it doesn’t matter!

What would happen when you read this?
Will you smile and feel special?
Will you call and tell me, it did matter?
Or would you like me, keep things inside?
And just tell yourself, it doesn’t matter!
