Does it matter?

Does it matter?

Does it really matter that I love some one like me?
Does it really matter that she is not a he?
Does it really matter that we're walking hand in hand?
Does it really matter that we might make a stand?

Who are we affecting when we declare how we feel?
Who are we affecting when we find something real?
Who are we affecting when we kiss goodnight?
Who are we affecting when they choose us to fight?

Why are you bothering to be so concerned?
Why are you bothering to act so spurned?
Why are you bothering to stop and stare?
Why are you bothering to be so damned unfair?

What is so wrong about falling in love?
What is so wrong when we fit like a glove?
What is so wrong all we're doing is living our lives?
What is so wrong all we've done is found the thing that we all strive?

The only thing that matters is that love has been found.
The only thing that matters is that our feet are on the ground.
The only thing that matters is our souls are singing joyous songs.
The only thing that matters is happiness is forever long.
