You were there to choose me,
and I was there to choose you.
In the hardest bend of my life,
when every road felt broken,
I chose you.
I chose you over my pain,
over the destiny written for me,
over the new life waiting at my door.
I chose you as my beginning
when endings were all I knew.
I chose you even when the world
told me not to love.
I fought with every breath,
every bit of strength I had.
I chose you over my respect,
over my family,
over the quiet safety of my own life.
And still,
you left.
You stayed silent,
no reason,
no words,
just quiet.
And now…
I am tired.
Now, I choose you for nothing.
Not for my today,
not for my future,
not for the lonely roads ahead.
But I am choosing you again,
only in the way love remembers.
The you who still breathes inside me,
the one my heart built,
not the one who walked away.
At any cost,
I will not choose you again,
yet the you within me
remains unshaken.
I cannot lose that you
to destiny’s cruel hands.
Because you were,
you are,
and you will be
my destiny,
even if I no longer choose you.
