I Should Have Jumped (Free verse) by TLRufener
Tears sting at my eyes as regret draws heavy on my heart
I miss even more each day now that weâre apart
You held my hand and said that you loved me
You asked me to jump, but I was afraid to be free
Now I realized that I could have taken that leap
Because I know that you have opened your arms to catch me
All I can think about and dream about is me and you
I have tasted your love and I know it is forever true
I should have jumped when we sat close in the rain
I never should have thought about facing the pain
My heart is heavy with the regret of what I didnât do
The next time we meet I will take your hand and jump with you
No more worries of what to say when the questions arise
Never again will I allow my thoughts to over-power the love in your eyes
I have thought too much already and stopped another memory
I will never let the rain drops go to waste again over what others might
see
I will love you for always with all of my heart and soul
It is now that I see I donât always need to be in control
A randomness of kisses is all I really need in my life
The next time it is just you and I will be a very special night
All of my fears have been cast aside for risks
All I need to be free is just one more sweet kiss
