Another semi- song fic to Dana Glover's "Thinking Over". It seemed oddly appropriate for the Zutara 100 TC

#44. Two Roads.

I've been searching for a reason

And I'm running out of time

I can feel that it's the season

It's time to make up my mind

And I can't really tell you what I'm gonna do

There are so many thoughts in my head

There are two roads to walk down and one road to choose

So I'm thinking over the things that you've said

Thinking over the things...


It's an unspoken charge; I have to choose one of them. Either choice will offend (one more so than the other). Either choice will result in a broken heart and I don't want to hurt anyone.

One road is sunny and joyful. I can see it now; smooth and well worn. It's as familiar to me as my own hand. I can hear the laughter, even as I stand at the crossroads. This is the path of least resistance; smoothed by affection and open expressions of love and devotion. I would be happy here, everyone knows it.

The second path is rockier; with hills and dells, the occasional rough patch. There are sections that is darker but then the sun breaks through the trees casting a pool of intense sunshine that basking in it seems almost sinful. It wouldn't be easy or straightforward. But at the same time, I embrace the challenge, the struggle, the excitement and passion. Few would understand this choice when I could have the other…and yet…

Which do I choose? Whose heart do I break?
