I follow an elderly roman road
Leaving behind splendour and ruin as I pass
For, though straight, it has been a heavy load
Of ups and downs, and memories at mass

But then the road diverges into two
And I know not which path I must follow
For one is headed to start life anew
Yet, leaving without you, I’d feel hollow

The other road has been wandered before
And I doubt it leads to full potential
Whereas the longer path is told in lore
to be full of joy and good credentials

Could I not converge our routes to save choice?
For I feel the weight of choice in my heart
And should it be decided by your voice;
Would you wish to stroll away and depart?

This straight roman road has lost it’s appeal
It oppresses my liberty to roam
And so I must journey to where I feel
Yet where my heart belongs still isn’t known

Could we forever live in agreeal
That choosing the right path had chose our home?
Or would it be a regretful ordeal?
Above all, will this path be taken alone?
