I should’ve double texted,
Triple texted or maybe lived to flood your messenger with words of love
Told you how I appreciated you
How it all started out as a game
And ended as a fairytale.
Some might say love makes us do things we wouldn’t
Some might say it suppresses our voices, our emotions
But I know I should’ve
Held your hands in public swinging them in motions
And in between tightly held them for reassurance.
They say that’s how love works
One day you’re inlove and another you’re swimming in your own tears
But I know I should’ve
Been your protector
Maybe your actor
In a Hollywood screen blocking every weapon formed against you
But how would I’ve done that
When I was one of those who dragged you down
Slowly dragging you to your grave.
And you reap what you sow
And some I saw
How I treated you unfairly
Made those butterflies in your stomach turn to bats
And a world so bright turned dark
Maybe I should’ve
Tried to change my ways
When I saw you drowning in your own tears
Dying from your own thoughts.
Now that you’re gone
I realize I should’ve
Protected your image
Reciprocated the energy
Lived to love you
But
But……
Now time’s what I don’t have
And you’re o’er
Feeding on the daily bread
And feeding on happiness
Maybe I did bring you to happiness
I know I didn’t do what I should’ve done
But atlast you came across light once again.
