Second Chance

By:

Standing here I look at you
Seeing that everything I feel is true
Seeing your beautiful smile light up my life
Seeing your hands cut away my sadness like a knife
Hearing your caring words soothe my heart
Knowing that nothing can ever drive us apart

To you I am destined to be your knight
To love and protect you from the darkest night
To be your shield against the strongest storm
To be your lover was the reason I was born
To hold you close when you feel cold
To love you forever, even if my body gets old

I see you standing there in all of your radiance
Showing me your beauty with all of its brilliance
Your silk gown blows gracefully in the summer breeze
You walk towards me and hold my hands, causing my heart to freeze
You look into my eyes and see into my soul
Unleashing a fierce love, I answer your sweet voiced call

You lead me down a path between the trees
Through the forests of peace towards the bluest of seas
Through the trees I walk with you hand in hand
Through the forests of peace onto the whitest sands
I stand on the beach of life looking into the distance
For you I realize that you are my weakness. I have no resistance

If you died this very day
I knew that I too would pass away
To lose the one person who would die for me
To lose the one person who took me to this blue sea
I hold you close and don't let go
To never lose you to any of our foes

I cry deep inside at the thought of losing you
Cannot believe what I am thinking is true
I have beaten and tortured others before
I thought losing you would even the score
But I realized that fate has given me a chance
To take you into my arms. for the rest of eternity we shall dance
