WHY DO I REGRET

My choice was plain.
I made it long ago.
I left for a better life,
Yet why do I regret?

Did I do what was right?
What about my love?
Why did he have to stay?
Why couldn't he join me?

I left safety for danger.
Slavery for freedom.
Rulers for friends.
Love for loss.

My choice was plain.
I made it long ago.
I left for a better life,
Yet why do I regret?

My love is my enemy.
Should I return to his arms?
To a life of captivity?
I still don't know.

My choice was plain.
I made it long ago.
I left for a better life,
Yet why do I regret?

I wondered why.
Why I felt so down.
Why I always cried.
Until I realized, I missed him.

I had everything I wanted.
My life was my own.
Yet it was meaningless,
Without him.

My choice was plain.
I made it long ago.
I left for a better life,
Yet why do I regret?

My friends are safe now.
Without me, they'd be dead.
I gave up everything to save my world.
Even so, I ponder,

What would happen if I stayed?
I would be happy.
My friends are fun,
But nothing compares to my love.

My choice was plain.
I made it long ago.
I left for a better life,
Yet why do I regret?

Every time I see him,
I must mask my feelings.
Hide my love,
From the whole world.
WHY???

Why must lovers be apart?
He is my one true love,
I would do anything to save him,
Yet he laughs at me.

My choice was plain.
I made it long ago.
I left for a better life,
Yet why do I regret?

If I returned, would he take me?
No, I doubt it.
He would scorn me and hurt me.
I don't know what to do.

My choice was plain.
I made it long ago.
I left for a better life,
Yet why do I regret?

He may still like me,
If not, he may kill me.
I don't care anymore.
He can do what he wants with me.

My choice was plain.
I made it long ago.
I left for a better life,
Yet why do I regret?

What about my dreams?
I will make them come true.
I will go tell him.
I'll let my heart lead the way.
I finally know now.
