I have fallen in love before
and it’ll likely happen again
I just hope the next time
it’ll be with your wit
or your smile
or your hair.
If I fall in love again
I want it to matter
more than it did
when I fell for someone
who didn’t love me back.
I want you to love me
I want to matter to you
I want to hear you say my name
lovingly
as we watch our favorite show.
Because the world won’t matter
until you say my name.
