Taking Chances
Taking Chances
Every morning I wake up to the thought of you
You’re sleeping next to me as if it’s nothing new
I watch you while you sleep
I take the liberty to kiss you deep
You take me into am embrace so warm
I close my eyes believing there would be no harm
I face you wondering if I should tell you what I fear
I hope to see that you’ll always hold me dear
I see you and wonder if you’re the chance I’ve been waiting for
The taste of your lips makes me wish it were true for evermore
If I show you the scars that every night haunt me
Would you become one of those faces that still taunt me?
Burdened with the fears that fill me with dread
I seek your chest to instead bury my head
When you raise my face towards you
I kiss and smile so all you see is a beautiful view
My secrets will continue to stay out of sight
Till the day you prove otherwise with all your might.
