Second Chance

by Rican Chemistry   Apr 24, 2009


Sometimes I think to myself
How lucky I am to have you
The thought alone
Brings to my face a smile or two

But it wasn't always this sweet
I remember back when we'd just met
How unsure of myself I was
And how I was filled with doubt and regret

It pains me to remember
That once I played with you
That I was with someone else
And to you I wasn't true

Unaware, I started catching feelings
Even though someone else had my heart
Yet there was something about you
That caught my eye from the start

But instead of sharing my emotions
I chose the other instead
Blinded by the lust and obsession
I wasn't thinking with my head

And when this other woman came
The threats were loud and clear
Just as I had made my choice
You went to her, validating my fear

And just like that I was gone
She became what you had been looking for
This emotion in me started growing
An emotion I hadn't felt before

Day to day I saw you
How she brought a smile to your face
"How quickly you forgot me" I thought
I wasn't so difficult to replace

As I saw how happy you had become
I wondered what she had over me
Started feeling like I wasn't good enough
For you were never that happy with me

I started feeling sorry for myself
Realizing I had made the wrong decision
I saw then how you stared at her lovingly
And I figured your happiness was sufficient

Had to stick by my mistake
So I tried to holding on the best I could
And knowing I didn't want to completely lose you
I tried keeping you the way I should

I wanted to be your friend
Share in the happiness she gave you
And when we talked about her
I listened, like good friends do

When my relationship started failing
I too, turned to you
Seeking in you what I needed
Not knowing what else to do

I remember telling you I missed you
And we made love for the first time
Cause thats when I knew I loved you
And that I wanted you to be mine

I remember asking you to stay
I did not want you out of sight
Yet we both knew something was missing
Something was just not right

I still had someone before you
And you had barely just left that woman
I know now that you had made another choice
But that day I wasn't able to comprehend

You left that day and I felt unsure
I had to find out what was real
Another stupid mistake followed
But I just had to know what was the deal

And so my heart was broken once again
And of course, I turned to you
But instead of pushing me away
You confessed your love was true

That second chance was all I needed
And you gladly gave it to me
Now I call myself the luckiest girl
Cause you love me unconditionally

I am so glad to have found you
For you make me so incredibly happy
And I'm more than proud to be the reason
Of your LAST Romantic Comedy

To someone that has changed my world completely. I love you...
