Love At First Sight

by *Charisma*   Mar 5, 2007


I don't believe in love at first sight,
But do I believe in second chances?
With us, things just weren't right,
And we had plenty of knowing glances.

I thought that I was understood.
I trusted that time was what we needed.
Now, it's over, done for good
Fate and destiny are lost causes pleaded.

There just excuses and easy ways out
When relationships don't succeed.
Inventions for people filled with self-doubt
To say that person didn't fill their need.

It takes respect, hard-earned trust,
And a love deep within your own soul
To build up what failed for us
And keep the relationship in control.

Though I know this, and that love can work
I still find it hard to pull through.
I'm battling through all of this hurt
I forgot what I believed after you.
