I should've said Yes

People say we will make a good pair
But I can just listen to it, in despair

I wish you wished it too
My world is not quite the same without you

I remember that night
Ever so clear
If only I had overcome my fear
'cause how can one forget
The night you said you liked me
But now, I can only regret

You said it out loud for me to hear
It sent a chill down my spine
& left me to quiver
I know it takes too much to admit
But there you were, who has just confessed
Waiting for me to say YES
Oh no! But silly me, you remember what I said?

"I don't know"
Yeah; I said, I don't know
Couldn't I reply any better
My heart grew heavier with every letter I had just muttered
But deep down I believed
That you might know you have just been deceived

I know you are a scardy cat
But still you managed to say it
I'm not just a coward
You know? I'm undoubtedly naive

That Saturday morning
When I look back to that day
I can feel the warmth of the cold breeze
& the coldness of your heart's sieze

But, now that times have changed
Tables have turned
I am standing where once you stood
Awaiting your return

If only that night
If only I would've said what I felt
My dreams might have turned real
& my heart won't be left, waiting to heal...
