Second Chance

He knew he messed up bad
Far from his proudest moment
Decisions needed to be made
It was time to grow up

Swore he’d make it up to her
If she would only forgive him
Promised she’d never regret
Giving him a second chance

Everyone should have one; some I've given two additional chances. Beautifully penned; I hope you have good luck in the contests.
