"What you had to do"

Sitting in a darkened room
Alone, talking with God
Reflecting on why life
At times is easy, but often hard

Thinking about the past
Decisions that were mad
Some of them were very good
For some, you didn't like the price you paid

Years of being alone
Years of feeling lonely
Wishing someone was there
To be your one and only

The pain at times unbearable
Other times it wasn't bad
But the price of being alone
Sometimes, is very sad

Often times we settle for
Situations we normally wouldn't
Knowing deep inside
That we really shouldn't

But we go ahead and do it
Hoping it will be what we need
It's done more out of loneliness
Then one might concede

But in time we do realize
That a change might be in sight
Hoping that what you do
Will turn out to be right

It a tough position to be in
But it's a place where we've all been
Because when all is said and done
In your heart you feel it's a win

For the first time in a long time
Your heart is happy so are you
For the first time in a long time
You did for you, what you had to do
