I Should have

[cjh]

I should have Loved You more and demanded less.



I should have kissed You every chance I had,

I should have held you near,

I should have gently brushed your hair aside

and kissed away your tears.



I should have held you even closer

as tight as my arms would dare,

I should have hesitated letting go

to show You how much I care.



I should have worried less about silly things

and more about Loving You,

I should have understood this fleeting time

was anything but true.



I should have known the Love I’d miss

goes far beyond this world,

for all the Love that You bestowed,

proudly waved unfurled.



I should have Loved You more and demanded less.
