A Difficult Decision

I tried to say no
but the words wouldn't come
all I could do was stumble
on my tongue

I pushed you away and
turned to let go
but you grabbed me 
from behind
and said
they don't need to know

it had been awhile 
since you said it was over
I never stopped crying
I never wanted to be sober

I dreamed of your touch and
if we'd ever be together again
I couldn't trust you anymore
and never knew where you'd been

and now here you were
wanting me back like before
you said you were sorry
realized what you had done even more

I loved you so much
my troubled life so unkind
I struggled to be with you
wanting so badly 
for you to be the one

now here we stand
both broken in two
you reach out to me
and I ask myself
will I ever get over
wanting you

only once in our lives 
do we ever get a second chance
maybe it is time for us
and not just another
happenstance

If there is an answer 
for all what we've been through
then my heart 
is singing to me now
and once again
I can't help but
 choose 
you...
