Love Poem: Second Chances

Second Chances

You get a lot of second chances in life
Some are more deserving then others
The most important ones, by far
Are made between consoling lovers

Let’s give this one more shot
To really say we tried
Then if it doesn’t work
In that I can confide 

Some are not so lucky
And are left wondering why
What did I do, how can I change
So my next ‘ship wont sail me by

Those of us who are lucky enough
And are given that second chance
Will risk it all to not repeat
That unfortunate circumstance

I definitely consider myself 
To be a ‘lucky one’
I thought that I had lost my love
But I have most certainly won

Just having love back in my life
Is fulfilling in it’s own
But having his love back in my life
Is a feeling I’ve never known

I didn’t realize at first
The gift that God was giving
Even when I wanted to die
He helped me keep on living

And even though I could live without
He knew I didn’t want to
I know I don’t need you in my life
But I can’t stand to be without you

Even though you broke my heart 
And left me in a trance
At least you came back to fix it
And that deserves a second chance
