And So It Goes

So much he’ll never understand
Choice, not life makes it that way
Is what he’s missing really meant to be?

So much she doesn’t understand
Wrong choices along the way
Why does she see what’s not meant to be seen?

Who decides which way they’ll go?
An intervention not yet known
Is there more than one direction?
For such an unaligned connection
And yet they keep on living
A life unknown; and so it goes

So much he thinks he understands
Such a gifted being is he
Yet what eludes him, he doesn’t know he needs

So much she tries to understand
Seeking unwritten prophecy
Looking to find what she only thinks she needs

She’s watching everything he’s done
And he doesn’t hear a word she’s said

An intervention that never came
No direction chosen, and all the same
She made his decision; he made hers in turn
No more aligned, while the connection burns
Straight thru an easy way of living
He walks away, she forgives him
