It matters.

Hindsight is a great teacher
but never a friend.
Foresight can be a great friend
only if one listens to
one's teachers.

It matters.
The distance between 
the said and
the should've said
might just be a single thought;
but it matters.

Intelligence is a great friend
but insensitive on its own.
Empathy can be great teacher
only if one makes it
one's closest friend.

It matters.
The distance between
the happy and
the content 
might just be a moment;
but it matters.

Being in the moment is true company
but will always be selfish.
Self awareness can be liberating
only if one allows it
the company of true love.
