Destiny

I've never been in love before, I think I had opportunities though But kept waiting for this faceless myth Did I ignore what was written above Did destiny come knocking Was I too proud Or was it just wishful thinking Of how my future would turn out Nothing went according to plan I see the error in my ways Wish I could go back into the past And change those all important days Did one bad choice Alter the course of my life Did an error in judgement Cause me to lose my mind Has my moment come and gone Is a thought that plagues me Night and day, all day long I wonder if there's a future left to seek I want to stand by my choices They were mine to make Relief is what I felt when I made them Even if they're perceived as mistakes But what if I was right all along And this is what's meant to be Maybe it's God who chose it all And I kept blaming me Faith in God now carries me Hope is what keeps me going Even though my destiny eludes me The wait is worth what's coming Be it death or life Hope or despair Love or strife I eagerly await my fate
