fork in the path
Thoughts evoked       Stirred en masse Thoughts I hadn't considered       In a very long time Questions asked       of my mind,             my heart             my soul Is it better off this way       or that? Am I better off with       or without? The saying goes: "If you love someone,             set them free.       If they come back,             they're yours,       If not,             they never were." But what if,       In the act of setting them free,       they are hurt so deeply,       They are afraid to return? Is it best       to try new things             and lose stability       or to stay tied down             and miss oppertunity? I don't even know       whether to discuss this with him       or to keep it hidden,       tucked inside myself       until I decide I cannot imagine       life without him I cannot imagine       never doing anything else I cannot fathom       my ability to cope with either       or his to accept things             for how I decide The next step is a shakey one Will I balance and move on Or will I fall and be crushed?
