Second Chances

What is truly important and what really only matters
Is knowing there is someone who won’t let me shatter.
Someone who cares at night where my head lays
And cares that I sleep well & awake the next day.

It wasn’t always easy, love can’t always be
Perfect, passionate and only filled with glee.
Life happened and I got caught up with worry.
I became angry, scared and lost; filled with fury.

I created a drama, changing the script; making a friend a foe;
acted in ways that would make a great reality show.
Screaming, crying, blaming, shaming all day long.
I lost my compassionate spirit and my heart’s beautiful song.

Now I remind myself how lucky I am,
living my life with such a lover and friend.
I believe in those second chances…a rewind.
Open your heart; it will be unwavering love you find.
