Decaf

I should be with you. I shouldn't be here. You're singing with angels, As I sit in this dark room, staring at a beer. It should have been me. You shouldn't have died. You're dancing with God, While I scream and shout and cry. This was our dream vacation. Something we'd planned for years. I look out the window of our hotel, And I smile through the tears. You should be with me And thinking back on things that could've been I should be in heaven with you instead of drinking coffee in the cafés of Berlin

Well done for your HM in my contest. Could you make one adjustment, please? You need to write 'could have', not "could've".
