Whatever Mattered

living in the past

has never worked for me.

forgetting the past,

my presence feels so free.

searching in my past,

dying to find solace.

whatever happened then,

I don't mind.

whatever was said,

it doesn't matter.

whatever mattered then,

I long forgot.

I'd like to say I didn't care.

I'd like to think it was all fair.

the waves are gliding over me,

everything passing away.

whatever mattered.
