The Chance

The Chance to Love You All Over Again A romance so intense was a gift I received, once so consuming and hard to believe memories cherished from a hand I long to hold, my ambitions and dreams forbidden to be sold my trust in you always is the promise that we share, you deserve to have the best of me and know I will always be there Do we all find love, is this what we are supposed to do? is it love that we are ultimately searching for, hold your breath if you feel you have too. the promise of love is a gift of life, to have it once is your first breath, but to keep it is the sacrifice Treat it with the greatest care and never see it as a chore, or it will leave you alone heartbroken of that you can be sure to know what you have is to know what could be lost but if it is gone it is too high a cost respect what you have when it is right by your side, because looking back only serves you to know the pain of a lost love that is impossible to hide I loved a heart once and stumbled from the path, driven into the woods over time yet it happened so fast Unable to recognize when the emotions grew old but so aware of my loss as I hide in the cold I shiver in the darkness in the place it all began, and hope I have the chance to love you again

love - "treat it with the greatest care" - and yes, I do believe that love is what we are supposed to do. Very nice,R.William.
