Decide

Did you decide if you loved him
Enough to blend your life with him
And let the things that really didn’t matter go?

Did you decide to make the warmth of his smile
Something you wanted to see everyday
And not let another one take your place?

Did you remember wondering
If someone would ever want to fight to keep you
And not let you wander and stray so far from their heart?

Did you realize that so many are alone because
In love, terms are not negotiable
And love is take it or leave it – all?

Did you decide that being cherished is better than
To be alone like your drifting friends
And to accept the time he takes from you?

Did you frighten from the completeness
The never ending day-to-day of together
And think that you wanted to run and hide?

Did you decide to keep him
Or should you release him
And let him offer his soul to another?
