The choice
November 22, 2025 at 5:21 PM
I'm standing in the middle of the bridge
On one side — the First
And on the other — the Second.
Below — dark restless water
Ahead and behind —
A chance to sink into the deep
What my heart desires?
I can't even answer — I don't know,
Don't know where to run, where to hide.
The storm still isn't cancelled
And I don't know where to go
I turn my head — and look to the right.
There he stands — tall like a dream.
And the moment I think of him,
My heart goes up to my throat,
My body burns consumed by flame
Though I know he'll never feel the same.
The other stands across from me.
He's shy, uncertain. Trembling softly
He reaches out his open hands.
His eyes are shining with devotion
He tries to speak but words won't come
His breath breaks gently hesitating.
I step to him a little closer —
His hands are trembling tenderly.
And suddenly my soul again, anew,
remembers love's true melody
I hide his palms inside my own —
Still not sure which way to go
My heart turns to God, begging :
"Please let me know what to decide".
