I Should Have...
I should have buried my feelings deep
Without letting you know how I feel
I should have let the tears seep
Into the pillow and held it tight
I should have kept my secrets in the dark
As they wouldn’t have hurt anyone else
I should have let others, too, make a mark
Then, I wouldn’t have thought of you as special
I should have let my dreams die
As you seem to invade my every thought
I should have left my wishes to dry
Like the ancient promises, all but wither
I should have known the hurt from the start
And held my heart in a protective wrap
I should have walked away from you long before
Because now... I can’t seem to let go
