Hopefully Never

 

If I was ever to choose between the one I still love
and the one who loves me
I can't imagine how I'd figure out
who the chosen would be.

If at some point
he realized his wrongs
would my heart and soul
be place where he belonged?

If one day out of the blue
he decided to call me on the phone
woudl I be able to lie to him
and tell him my heart had moved on?

If he showed up on my porch
with flowers in had some day
could I completely dismiss him
by turning around and walking away?

If he deciced to come back to me
after so many lonely nights
how could I ever be sure
that this time it would be right?

Could I turn my back
on the man who's already here
who's seen me through thick and thin
and promises to last through the years?

If one day he did come around
and I chose to let him in
would he make me happy
or just hurt me all over again?

If the man I loved came around once again
and forced me to choose
I guess there would be no way around
someone having to lose.

But when the time finally came
and I had to speak my mind
I know there wouldn't be a way
for me to say it kind.

And without looking either of them
right straight in the eyes
There would be nothing for me to do
but to sever both ties.
