it took me three hours with no editing to write this while bawling my eyes out.

Once I had two true loves
And once I had to choose
But choosing was the hardest thing
That I could ever do

I loved them both so very much
And in turn they both loved me
But fate said I could not love both
So I had to set one free

I couldn't pull myself to pick
They both meant the world to me
But while I wasn't looking
In stepped cruel destiny

She tore away from me just one
And I cried ever so profusely
Because I could never decide
Destiny chose for me

So he left me cause he had no choice
All of love was just a blur
But he told the other before he left
"Please, for me, take care of her."

So now I had one true love
And I loved him as much as I could
But secretly I loved the other still
So give all my love to one I never would

Time began to pass us by
And in time I loved him more
But my heart and memories reminded me
Of the one i still adored

One day my love came up to me
And he asked how I felt about the other
He begged of me to tell him the truth
Because they were just like brothers

It hurt for me to hear him ask
So I said it didn't matter
That I now loved him ever so much
But for the other it made me sadder

Somehow my love saw in my heart
The truth I couldn't say
The one that locked itself up
The day he went away

My love knew that I loved him so
But the other I still longed for
I never had the heart to tell him
I still cared for the one from me destiny tore

And so through deep, deep sadness
My love brought him back to me
So I could tell them both
How my heart felt honestly

I spoke of how I loved them
But fate said one was meant to be
And how I could never loved them both
That I had to set one free

But cruel destiny chose for me
Before I could say a thing
So chosen was the one
That chose to stay with me

But the feelings of the other
Would never seem to fade
I could never let him go
In my heart and thoughts he stayed

My other love, he smiled with joy
I spoke the truth because he came
And in his heart, forever more
For me he felt the same

My love looked at me wistfully
And it hurt me that he knew
But fate had told me neverless
"To thy own heart be true."

And so with tears my love let go
So to fate I could be true
I had to watch my love let me go
But he told me "I'll still love you."

My other love was meant to be
And my heart was now forever his
But neither destiny nor I did choose
My love had chosen this

Because he had known honestly
But I could never see
It took my love to show my heart
Just what love meant to me

So once I had two true loves
And once I had to choose
But one of my loves chose for us all
And my heart didn't lose

Now I'm with the one I love
Because we're meant to be
But I will always love them both
Because they both will still love me
