Pathways
(May 6th 2005)

Choices of long ago
Made time and time again
Time to make it one last time
Give it one last go

There's strife within our past
Darkness within our future
But still that candle burns
Within me, locked below

You may choose your path
But choose wisely, my love
Don't begin a path you will
One day intend to reverse

We now approach a fork
Shall we go left or right?
Together or shall we split?
Perhaps to merge again one day

I stand here, now aware
Of all the mistakes I've made
Of all the decisions I regret
Of all my paths gone wrong

But I stand here, also aware
Of the lessons which I have learned
The feelings I have found within
And which path I should have followed

Perhaps it is too late
Perhaps I can't go back
And choose the right path
But I want to try at least

Choose with your heart my love
And if your path be different that mine
I bid you fair seas and strong winds
And happiness in all that you do

But if your path should follow mine
Let us learn to love each other again
Like the past has shown us we can
And forge our future anew

No matter the path you choose
I shall be your friend
As they say, we all have our paths
You must walk the one that is right for you
