Does it matter?

It's always been you that I dream of at night
It's always been you who I've longed to hold me tight.

You were my first love, my greatest love, my only love
You are my current love, my always love, my eternal love.

That you don't know how I really feel
No longer matters to me.

As long as I have you near me always
There is no need for you to ever know.

You are my best friend, a true friend, a deep friend
Does it matter that I keep this from you?

Does it matter that every night I think of you?
Does it matter that every morning I long for you?

Will I ever be ready to tell you?
Will you ever be ready to know?

I can't risk losing you all over again,
So as far as I can see, I'll keep my secret hidden
From the one person who really matters to me
Until you are ready, whenever that may be.
