THE WORDS OF MY SILENCE [poems]

I SHOULD'VE

How come it's already ten days,
No I don't want to go from this place.
I don't want to leave you
I haven't done all that I want to.

I planned many things so fun,
But most of them are left undone.
Whatever, it's the end of vacation,
And it's time to switch the location.

My ticket is booked already
But I'm still not ready.
You wave your hand and smile so that I don't cry
Still getting into the bus tears roll down, I don't know why.

Sitting inside I see you through the window
And foolishly I pray for time to get slow.
I always can't hold myself from getting down the bus
One more hug, I feel, I must.

So I get down and hug you again
Holding your hands, I say bye again and again.
Take care, stay safe, I say
Bus blows it's horn, soon I'll be on my way.

I get into bus turning back often
I can't go away from you like this again.
Every time we part
I feel this kind of heart.

I wave my goodbye to you
And sitting there I regret things I didn't do
I think, I should've spent more time with you At Least once I should've cooked for you

I should've applied oil to your hair
I should've asked you about your day.
I should've said it's gonna be alright
I should've done something to ease your fight

I should've hugged you even tight
I should've stayed one more night.
I should've done that, I should've done this,
I should've done everything I didn't did....
