I Should Be There
I should be there
There with you
Sitting by your side
Conversation over food
I should be there
There with you
Trying to see through your eyes
Then sharing my point of view
I should be there
There with you
Letting you know that I care
Accepting the love you give
I should be there
There with you
But I’m not
I’m here
Letting my thoughts
Taunt me
Regretting all that could be
Inwardly missing you
I should be there
There with you
Now I feel like a jerk
Being alone can hurt
I should be there
There with you
But it’s too late
If only I had tried
If only I didn’t hesitate
I could have been there
I must move forward
Embrace all that I am
Live up to what I can be
I must tear down the walls
That are keeping me from being free
Next time, I’ll be there.
You and me.
There with you.
