COULD being the operative word.

IT MATTERS NOT

we could say a thousand things of superficial importance
hurl subtle hints of affection
we could pray for miracles of undeterred significance
hurdle theories of perfection
but you know that I know
that it matters not

What matters is the end of it
the beginning of a wished for life

we could hear many unspoken declarations
influence moments of perseverance
we could fear unsupported inspirations
instill beliefs of endurance
but I know that you know
that it matters not

What matters is the life of it
the end of what we knew we shared
