One Or the Other

The time has come where I have to chose
Neither one of you I want to lose
I can share my love between both of you
To make a choice will turn my tears blue

I realize I have to move on without one
To think I could keep it all is undone
Sooner or later this problem would arrive
What do I do? How do I survive?

To keep you both in my heart
I would never want to tear the love apart
Either one or the other will get hurt
I can not wipe you both off like a dirty shirt

I will still wonder what you both are doing
How everything in your life is going
I have more memories with my spouse
Not to acknowledge them,I would be a silly mouse

Putting something like a mistake in the past
Would be the smartest idea at last
Why lose someone that has been there forever
The only option is someone needs to walk out the door

                                                               Josie-Marie Curson
