Crossroads

I was standing at the crossroads wondering which way to go, Left or right or straight on ahead I tell ya I didn’t know. One way was towards the responsibility of family and tradition, The other lead right to the girl, to love her was my ambition. Or should I straddle the two of them by staying on my course, But never reaching either goal would fill me with remorse. Do I keep the love I’ve known or do I go to the love I need? Knowing that whichever heart I chose I’d make the other bleed. Now that was many years ago and I know that I chose right, But sometimes that decision still haunts me in the middle of the night.
