Choices

If you had a choice,

To be happy or sad,

To you, it’s very obvious,

The choice would be glad,

But me and my problem,

This choice is quite tough,

For my choice affects others,

And could make things rough,

It involves this one boy,

And two of my dear friends,

It’s hard to decide,

Whose happiness ends,

But guessing the future,

I’ll let one of them down,

Then he won’t be the same,

With that sad, lonely frown,

Maybe I can save two,

By hooking them up,

So at least most of us are happy,

So life’s not a half empty cup,

But what if he won’t let go,

On the memories of us,

Maybe we can still be friends,

That’d be a plus,

My two friends I mentioned?

They like him a lot,

But his eyes are on me for now,

As if I might be hot,

I do hope I make the right choice,

For it’ll effect more than me,

But how do you choose,

Between happiness for you,

Your friends and he?

Mistakes

I’ve made mistakes, true,

And so have you,

And that’s why I let it go,

To show

You can be friends and make mistakes,

It takes

Forgiveness and a chance,

Enhance

The way you look at it, just sit,

And think a bit,

Don’t just push me away to another crowd,

I am allowed

To have an opinion on how things go,

You know,

It hasn’t been easy on either of us,

So quit the fuss,

Just let us be friends,

If it ends,

I guess that’s how it’s meant to be,

You’ll see,

This is a mistake we both have made.
