How Sweet the Sorrow

If you had known the fate that day would hold
The future, that would in its wake, unfold
Would you have chosen still to wander in
And find yourself somewhere you’d never been?
Or simply walked away and missed the chance
To hear the song that caused your heart to dance.
No explanation ever will suffice,
A twist of fate that mingled fire and ice.
To what great end, perhaps you’ll never know
But can you say you’re worse off for the show?
If you have found the heart your soul commands,
Believing it is one of fate’s great plans,
Then parting should be neither sweet nor sad -
Remember well, that one sweet dream you had.
