Changing Faith

I am a strong black woman
I see something I really want
But he's taken
Would I be changing faith 
If I took him away
They say if it was meant to be
He will be available 
So i'm wondering if this 
Chase i'm getting involved in
Will really be worth it?
Am I right?
Or am I wrong?
For following my heart
For fighting for him and not giving up
Would I be chaging faith if he decided 
To leave
and join me?
Would I be messing up the whole
Soul mate thing
They say
He's out there somewhere just be patient
He's already taken therefore he wasn't meant for you
Now I don't think that's absolutely true
Romance blooms 
Emotions swoon 
You can't help who you fall for
Or who gets the boot?
Now can you?
Would that be considered changing faith
If I happened to change how their ending would be? 
I say your future is what you make it
and this situation should be left up to me
I'm trying to reassure myself
That I needn't feel guilty
