Could Have, Should Have, Would Have
I cry for all that we could have been
Would have been
Should have been
And all that we aren’t.
I mourn the thousands of kisses
The countless breaths
And the infinite beats of our hearts
That will no longer be.
I yearn for the homes we would make
The trips we would take
The hours we would waste
The dreams we would chase.
I hurt for all that we won’t be
Can’t be
Don’t want to be
And all that I thought we were.
I miss the me I was with you
The me I learnt from you
The me I was before I loved you
And the heart that was once whole.
I remember everything we did do
Lived through
Laughed to
And most of all I remember how I loved you
And still do
Don’t want to
But can’t seem not to.
