The Jealous Bridesmaid

I should have kissed you while I had the chance,

for the next moment you were gone with the wind.

I should have kissed you before you had left me,

because then I wouldn't be hanging on to the "what-ifs."

I should have kissed you past all the fears and doubts

because then it would've been more than just a dream, but a taste, a touch, a memory.

I should have kissed you that day a long, long time ago,

because maybe I wouldn't be here, staring at you, so beautiful on your wedding day.

I should have kissed you. I should have.

Because then maybe you would have been my wife,

instead of my brothers.
