Why do you care?
he asked me
what's the point?
why shouldn't I care
I countered
why wouldn't it matter?
I could feel him giving up
and all I wanted was to save him
I'm just a boy who used to mean something
I am not your concern
he answered
my hands are tight at my side
my mind is spinning
this is a boy I used to love
who I tell every secret to
who tells me all the bad and good
his girlfriend hates me
as she should
his parents love me
and I think secretly so does he
but do I love him?
not the same as I once did
now he's my best friend
who I need
and who needs me
the bad matters because he does matter to me
and it makes all the difference
I do not belong to you anymore
and you don't belong to me
you don't have to tell me everything
your hopes your fears your dreams
but you can so you do.
