Follow Your Heart
What is more important the future or the past?
Where loves concerned, and three people are the cast
One had been devoted and loved me many years
The other had my heart, and I had to be near
Emotions overtook me, which one should I follow
Love made me feel alive, but the guilt makes me feel shallow
My wife through the years, helped make me who I am
The other had my heart, which made it hard to take a stand
For too many years I fought this battle, within myself of course
Hoping time and understanding would relieve my remorse
As time went on it happened, wife and family came around
They understood I had to be where my heart was bound
But time had also taken, its toll on my lover
She was tired of waiting, and tired of being the other
Although the time had come, to now become as one
She said, “Love should not be this hard, so I’m moving on"
Our time together was very good, but at times also tough
Now our quest for happiness would no longer be as rough
So it has been very hard to accept and understand
Why fight the battle, then walk away, with victory at hand
An uncomplicated partner is now what pleases her
So she took the path, that was easier
Anything in life worth having, is worth fighting hard to keep
These are the words I tell myself if I start to weep
Don’t be like me, with body and soul now divided
I would still have my love, if sooner I decided
To do what made me happiest, and best for all concerned
Now life is without the one I love, only a lesson learned
My advice to anyone who has to decide
Don’t take too long thinking, and moving side to side
This lesson in life, I wish I knew it at the start
If you have a chance at love…always follow your heart
