Second Chances Exist

Its easy to like but not to love

To be open but to never trust

To talk to but never rely on someone

To stay loyal but not attached

It wasn’t always like this, where I would always question their intentions

At one point I was expressing, naive,

trusting and wore my heart on my sleeve,

but I guess we all were at some point.

Betrayal...

it makes even the kindest of hearts harden,

building walls of steel and ice

Never wanting to be what it once was

Always yearning for someone to give it a fresh start

I was given that fresh start, found someone who accepts me for what I am

Puts up with my bickering, supports me, loyal and trustworthy

I was a shell but he has helped me find my missing pieces

Filling me each day with more joy, love and faith

He isn’t the hottest guy in the room

nor is he some superman

but to me he is the only one I see

He is my lighthouse and my safe haven,

teaching me how to trust completely

even when I was determined to never do so again.

He is my fresh start, my second chance.
