It really doesn't matter who said the last farewell <br />Who left the net of safety, who broke the magic spell <br />It hurts in different ways, and it always will be sad <br />To know Perfection shatters, to feel so very bad <br />It's true, the one who scarpers from something that is gold, <br />Feels guilty and remorseful, even though their act was bold <br />Deep down that guilty feeling may never wash away <br />But the sun will rise each morning to create a brand new day <br />A day to feel just grateful for the graciousness of others <br />To appreciate their friendship now that you're no longer lovers <br />As years recede in time, as the waves creep back with the tide, <br />Remember how your heart pounded, when your smile was open wide <br />Wish love and safety always, and hope for future calm... <br />within one's own heart and soul completely, <br />Lest your spirit may be harmed.<br /><br />Clare Grover Cotterill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-really-doesn-t-matter/
