Could’ve stayed

Last night
 I didn’t leave because you told me to go
 I could’ve stayed and that would’ve been Okay
I think you wanted me there
 you were drunk and vulnerable 
 it would’ve been the wrong way
hands in my pockets keeping me from touching
the hugs were too common
This moment of belonging 
Our bodies pressed so tight
I was going to kiss you 
I needed to leave, not because you said to go
I could have stayed and that would have been okay 
you stare at me with intensity, tears sliding down your face 
I wanna hold that hurt from you
 kiss away the blame 
needing to reach out 
 I would be taking advantage
I know I could’ve stayed in that would’ve been Okay
maybe I’m misreading things
Confused not sure what’s about
you told me that you love me
you apologize for being one-sided 
I ran my hands through your hair
Your close, I’m fighting this urge
so I put my hands in my pockets 
 I didn’t leave because you told me to go
 I could’ve stayed in that would’ve been Okay
Would I have been a regret
You hold many regrets of other times
Should I just forget
when the hugs are coming common 
With my face pressed to your neck 
I’m holding back kisses 
something more than just your friend
Your in the drink, it’s the wong way
Fear of rejection wins in the end 
I didn’t leave because you told me to go
I could have stayed and that would have been Okay.
