Just For The Chance To Be With You

I once loved you more than anything
I once wanted no body else
I once had so much faith in you and in us
I once believed in and loved myself.
I once thought you were my other half
I once thought you owned my heart
I once was true with my every word
I once believed you and I would never part.
I once held my hope within love
I once believed that dreams came true
I once was serious about giving all that up
Just for the chance to be with you.

I hoped that my beliefs held some truth
I hoped my sacrifice wasn’t in vain
I hoped to not have my heart broken
I hoped to never go through that again.
I hoped deep down you were being true
I hoped for once my instinct was right
I hoped in the beginning to never fall at all
I hoped to never see you again after that night.
I hoped you wouldn’t do this to me
I hoped you meant all the “I love you’s”
I hoped it was worth all my time and efforts
Just for the chance to be with you.

I now know it was bound to happened
I now know it was never meant to be
I now know the lesson I was supposed to learn
I now know what its like to feel happy.
I now know that distance can and does separate
I now know what it did to you and me together
I now know as well that true love last an eternity
I now know regardless that our hearts are one forever.
I now know that special chance of happiness
Once it is gone there is nothing you can do
But I’d go through each and every heartbreaking moment
Just for the chance to be with you…
