Could, Should, Would. Poem by Louie Richards

I still think about you sometimes.
More than I probably should.
A lot more than I should.
We were never soul mates,
But if you'd stayed maybe I'd believe we could.

I think about how it all went wrong.
The text, the waiting, oh.
We didn't get that last coffee, in our coffee shop,
I couldn't look you in the eye.
You walked me home and you talked like always, but I couldn't hear you.
The tears in my eyes were just too loud,
But I couldn't let you see me cry,
I can't trust you anymore.

There are no words to describe that feeling,
Shattered in a sentence.
The worst part is if you changed your mind I would fly to you in a heartbeat.
I would wait 2000 years, and worse I've told you so,
But you asked me not to wait,
Like you thought I would just move on, no fight,
Moreover I've told myself I would not.
But waiting is tempting isn't it,
Who knew I would wait this long for you?

I might die doing this, I really think I could,
But giving up on you seems safer, logic says I should,
And yet my heart says wait forever, live a happily ever after,
If you wanted to, if you asked me, I hope you know I would.
