Have I Fallen?

To see a friend in a different light
Is one of ego’s admission.
To reconcile with feelings of plight
Is a vulnerable confession.

As time moves forward and
Decisions are made,
The strands of the universe
Start to drop off and fade

Into the world of “what if?”s
A story is written
Chosen and forgiven
Grieving the loss of selection

Life’s most difficult question.
Surprises scare us
More than rejection.
And unwavering confidence
Becomes stubborn persistence.
