All that matters
To have known love
that rocked me
with tenderness
with passion.
To have held love
even if briefly.
To have loved
and been loved
and looked into eyes
that took me into forever
touched by hands
so loving they brought tears.
To have known love
strong enough
to reach
past the pain
crumbling walls
To have been
touched by love
that remains part of
my every breath -
that is all that matters to me.
