Second Chances

We shared moments of affection before we changed our minds. Now, we stand here contemplating if we should try it one more time.

The years behind us have been merciful through our trials and tribulations, making our lessons learned well and releasing any expectations.

Now, I see you with my soul and not only my eyes. In this way, I'm dedicating myself to second-tries.

The road may not be easy, but it's worth a go to me. I'm just not satisfied with you being only a memory.

So, take my hand and hold my heart; for, I'm giving it to you, hoping that together we find something new and true. 

And on our journey now, we'll have God to guide the way, giving us a second chance starting fresh today.

Thank you in advance for the special times we'll share, ever growing in showing ways in which we care.

The sun is shining brighter than I've ever seen before only upon deciding to dance through this next door.

Let's not be afraid to say I love or feel; but rather, embrace the moments that we have yet to steal.

And in the time to come, we'll learn that this is right, so baby let's get going and hold each other tight.
