The Path Which Leads Away

Maybe that was meant to be her life:
Constantly waiting,
And waiting,
And waiting...
With that everlasting ache
Slowly settling inside

But then again,
She also knows
That her future does not lie far from sight—
And she will not settle for anything less,
And she will not stop for a boy,
And she will not try to make him a man,
For she has come too far
And she has worked much too hard
To let go of a dream
Which is already so very close
To being in her grasp.

And so,
If the path she is meant to take
Is of one which leads away,
She knows she is strong enough
To endure that type
Of everlasting heartache
