I Bet You Wish You Did

Hours in muffled conversation

Tears at the kitchen table.

Knowing you wanted forever

Yet understanding you weren’t able.

Rings left in display

Of emotions you couldn’t show

We’d put the cart before the horse

But how were we to know?

Other lives now take our minds

To places we’d rather not be

I wish it were you all this time

Standing next to me.

Honest emotions run rampant

Ones we wish for a moment we’d hid

Never took the covers off me

But I bet you wish you did.
