You Didn’t Do A Thing
You could have hugged me.
Like she hugs me.
You could have kissed me.
Like she kisses me.
But, you didn’t—-do a thing.
You just stood there, looking at the ring.
She is everything I wanted you to be.
Now, I will miss you,—– for eternity.
You could have said you wanted me.
Like she says she wants me.
You could have loved me.
Like she loves me.
But, you didn’t—-do a thing.
You just stood there, looking at the ring.
She is everything I wanted you to be.
Now, I will miss you,—- for eternity.
You could have clung to me.
Like she clings to me.
You could have never let me go.
Like she will never let me go.
But, you didn’t—-say a thing.
You just turned, and left the ring.
She is everything I wanted you to be.
Now, I am without you,—- for eternity.
