Another Chance

It’s something more than lust. 
It’s something deeper than your skin. 
The only man that had my trust. 
But your heart, I did not win.

Why did you allow her in at this time?
The time I finally let him go.
I thought finally, you were gonna be mine.
But my heartache I will not show. 

I still believe we’re meant to be.
You and that girl are just wrong.
So I’ll wait for you to someday see.
I hope I don’t have to wait too long.

No one can love you like I can.
I should have proved that long ago.
I let distractions disrupt my plan.
This time, I’ll make sure that you know. 

I’m just asking for another chance.
So that I can give you my whole heart.
I can still envision our “first dance”.
Though it’s been years now that we’re apart.

I’ve thought about you every day.
I wish I never said goodbye.
To this day, that’s my biggest mistake.
It never got easier with time.
