One More Chance

When I look into your eyes
I see something that makes me pause
That makes me wonder if there is hope for me yet
That makes me wonder if love has not forsaken me as I have believed
Maybe there is hope for me
Maybe with you I will finally find the peace I have been longing for
All my young life

When you take me into your arms
I feel the warmth that you have always offered me
A warmth that penatrates even the darkest parts of my soul
That hints at a world where I wouldn't have to be afraid
That hints at a world where I could truly be happy
Maybe you are the one for me
Maybe you are the one that can set me free
From my dark and lonely prison

When you kiss me oh so gently
I am amazed at the passion there
I am amazed at the hunger there
It scares me so much
I know that you could destroy me without even trying
My heart is so fragile from being put back together so many times
After so many had decided that it would be best to break it
But still your so very gentle with me

You have told me that you will never hurt me
But I have been told that before so many times by people who always break that promise
So far you haven't done anything like that to me
You know everything about my past
Maybe thats why your so gentle with me
Maybe your scared of breaking me
As I am so very scared of being broken again

But as we lay here together in each others arms
I can't help but wonder if this is meant to be
If this is what I have been looking for all my life
If this is my chance to be truly be happy
Then you kiss my forehead and hold me closer as you whisper your love to me
I feel happy and terrified at the same time after I hear your words

I look up at you and know you see it all in my eyes
Your arms tighten around me slowly
Letting me know that your still there
Yet the fear remains
And I wonder if it will ever leave me
Then I wonder if you will ever leave me
As tears slowly slide down my cheeks
You brush them away gently
And for the first time instead of running away
I let my heart run towards you
Hoping beyone hope that this will be different then all the other times
And I whisper through my tears
"I love you too"
