That "should've been" that became "will never be"
Profile avatar image for jmagurk

Should’ve

I should've moved,

Answered,

Prayed,

Said yes,

Ran harder,

Dreamed bigger,

Been stronger,

And because of that, 

I'm here. 

But he's there,

Because he stayed,

Asked,

Hoped,

Excelled,

Swam faster,

Stayed stronger,

Prayed more,

And I should be there, 

Not here.

And it never will be,

Even though we hoped,

Prayed,

Loved.
