One chance

By: Meghan Barrett

From the first day
That I saw your smiling face
I knew that I wanted to be
Together with you

I asked you out
You said no, but I found out
That you’d been hurt
You thought it would be the same with me

As I hoped
That you would get to know me
A little more and better
That’s just the way love goes

And I know you’re afraid
To let your feelings go
And I understand
But it's time to let them show

I need to know how you feel
Without a two sentence answer
I told you my feelings
But got nothing in return

I hope you aren’t just messing with me
And making me think you care
When you really like another girl
And are too afraid to tell me

You say you’re only making friendly gestures
And they don’t mean anything special
But every move you make and every word you say
Mean the world to me in every way

Give me one chance
And I will prove to you that I’m worth it
I can’t be perfect, but for you I would
I would try with all my strength

I will always be here
And stick with you no matter what happens
I like you more than you think I do
And I want you to give me a chance, so I can prove this to you
