To Take A Chance

by ♥-Sharon Ardern-♥   Jan 9, 2005


Like a distant sound
I didn't want to hear
You came around
And pulled me near;

No love showed from me
And yet still you swore
You and I were meant to be
I said I'd never looked at you that way before

Still you persisted
Trying to light a flame
And still I resisted;
Saying I did not feel the same

I walked away, unsteady
I could even hear your love in your voice
But was I even ready?
Ultimately it was my choice

Still I wavered in between
You loved me, that was clear
Should I venture, where I’ve never been?
Is this stupid? To feel so much fear?

Scared because of being broken
How do I know you are my knight?
And am I ready to lie so open
What if it doesn’t work out right?

Then it dawned on me
Why be alive, if I act so fragile
I let down my guard, I felt free
So I walked back, saying yes with a smile.
