"Confessions Of The Departing"

If you knew what you`d know tomorrow today
What if I told you I cannot stay
That I cry because this love cannot be
That I am afraid
As if you were meant for me
What if I told you I was not alone
That there is another
That I share my home
And what if he knew
That when he touches me at night
I wish it was you
Tell me, How is that right???
What if mother knew
You are more than a friend
Of the nights we have spent
Again and again
Would she love me, respect me just the same
Would she codemn my love
As just a cruel game
If my children ever knew
I would give up my life
To not feel torn
To not live in strife
Would I become the one
That left with another man
I am cursed
They will never understand
If I`d known I was capable
Of so many lies
Would I have loved you
Would I have looked into those eyes
You were my beginning
Our love was my end
Remember I love you
If I never see you again
Would you have loved me
If you`d known from the start
Would you have allowed this meshing
With a forbidden heart
Our time was only borrowed
So I live tomorrow
In eternal sorrow
I run now
Before this love turns to hate
I just have one more thing to say
Don`t hate me because I loved
Don`t hate me because I lied
Love me for what we shared
Before you knew what you know today

You know where your mistakes lie, and where you have been in life.  Even is you are not sure where you are going, remember what you have seen and where you have been.  Do not dwell on the past, but once you have your eye on the goal, don't look back.  Once you are sure you know what you want, don't let go.
