The Choice

Everyone said we were the perfect couple
After a while, I even started to believe it
You were the one woman who appeared flawless in my eyes
Your deceptions so subtle that I never saw it coming
The holidays were so difficult without you near
And my father's illness left me wanting just to talk

I tell myself that if you call me today, I'd turn you away
That ship has sailed... The trust is lost
But deep inside I wonder if that's true

And each night I pray ... Pray to have that choice
