Cross Roads

In life
So i have learnt
There are always 2 roads to 
follow
Always a cross road 
And maybe  its just human 
nature
Or
Maybe its just one of life's 
truths
That it is always our mistake to 
make
Our error to learn from
I have not worked it out for 
myself
Nor have i found any answer 
from within
But i ask you dear friend
Is it not odd
That when one stands at the 
cross roads
The road that looks inviting and 
right 
In hindsight proves to be wrong
It leaves me with a wry smile
It leaves me with wondering 
why
One always wonders 
Whether the road not chosen 
Would not have been better
 'Cos it always seems that way
With the benefit of time gone 
by
It is sad however
It is true
One would never know
Because no matter how
The choice cannot be reversed
Time cannot be turned back
Leaving one to wonder 
What would have been had i 
not chosen you

Crossroads - being pulled in two different directions does define what choices is all about. Imagine a world where only one possibility is possible, such a world would be devoid of free will. It's human to wonder and second guess. The best we can do is learn how to live by and make improvements to the choices we have already made. Very well written Nico!
