Should Have Wondered About You

"sometimes you watch a person live their life in a beautiful way, you never get up, you never talk, you dont take the time. beautiful people all round this world. a poem about a boy I never knew had some sort of impact on me. I had no idea! untill now, when every sunday there's a laughter missing, I never wondered.... glenn, I should have wondered.."

Across a tired empty room

I saw your face

Got so used to it

Never wondered

What was behind the jokes

Never wondered about you, boy

*and now that something’s missing

And there’s a sense of emptiness no one can fill

Now, I wonder who you were

And its too late now

Should have sat next to you

Should have made you my friend

Should have wondered*

I never stopped to think

What it would be like

If you left

Never thought it was you

Who made everybody laugh

Never wondered about you, boy

*and now that something’s missing

And there’s a sense of emptiness no one can fill

Now, I wonder who you were

And its too late now

Should have sat next to you

Should have made you my friend

Should have wondered*

And through dead leaves,

Snow falls,

Hot summer days

And warm spring nights

I hope you can still light up a room

I hope you dance the way you do

I hope you never hide in a corner

I hope you’ll always smile

Should have wondered about you, boy
