What I should have done

I shouldn't have hung up
I should have kept on the phone
I realized my mistake
after the call had ended
My nerves once calm
in the presence of you
Now on overdrive wanting to call you back
but not wanting to wake you
Knowing this is the first night
you've fallen asleep so quickly

But in seeing you sleep so peacefully
flooded my heart and mind with memories
Making it hard to hold dry eyes
and a weightless heart

I should have stayed
knowing you needed me
just as much as I needed you
