Wonder why

by Quentin Christensen - Aquarius

The darkness is gone, now few may notice
They never saw before, now they ask why but its gone
The fight is over and I am tired, rest I need
But none is found, too busy now that all is done
Peace is found, but strength not regained
But I must be ready when the darkness comes
I will not sucumb, I will never fall again

Loves embrace is what I need
The sweetness that it provides can only be given by one
But now that I have found her, she has lost me
She wants nothing to do with me, why? I wonder
Gone away, she found another, I lost my chance
What way to act? There are two ways
Jealousy and hate for the other one, or happiness for the loved one

Which way to feel I cannot choose
Jealousy leads back to darkness, emotions stirred
How can you feel happiness for the one you loved
Who is now in love with another
But somehow someway I must because I love her
I would sacrifice my happiness, for her
She might as well be as happy as she can be

So what do I choose, with one eyebrow raised
The path to darkness? Or the one to sadness?
I shut the feelings out, sort them through
They just come back, no leaving them away
So sadness I choose, I would sacrifice
Myself for her to be happy
It is worth it. It is.
