I Should Have, I Wish I Could

I see you every day.

from my looking glass,

outside peering in.



There's just one thing I have to say:

I regret the opportunities i pass.

Your life, I wanted to be in.



I should have danced with you.

I should have taken your hand,

and bowed with you.



I know its hard

to take the spotlight

alone.



I should have held your hand,

and should have supported you.

I should have danced with you.



We pass each other every day.

From class to class,

all we exchange are smiles.



Fake as they may be,

they're all I got

With memory.



There's just one more thing I have to say:

If you could just listen to me today.



You're beautiful,

I know I never told you.

But now you know,

I told you so.



I should have taken your hand.

I should have bowed with you.

I should have shared the light

and all delight and supported you.



I wish I had the chance to dance with you.
