What Will it Be?

Why should I care about your life choice?
You are not mine to judge or change.
I rest my case; you've heard my voice,
and still you do not stay within my range.

It breaks my heart, even though it shouldn't,
we have our own lives to live these days.
I would tell you how I think, but I couldn't;
your thoughts and choices will always stay.

Afraid for you, or uncaring, what is best?
Should I save you from yourself, or no?
You think I'd put the matter to rest,
but I guess it seems I can't let it go.

If I could figure out just what to do,
I would go that way, with no regret.
So the question is, do I stick it through,
or do I let it go, and you, I'd forget?

I don't think you can have the two,
but I haven't decided if that's true.
I love you, but not your habits, too.
How could I tell you to choose?
