SECOND CHANCE

You were my sugar-baby
I was the apple of your eye.

I was a fool to leave.

I didn't even say goodbye.

I was a coward not to try.

I remember your smile could invite.

Your kiss burn -- your touch excite.

It's for your love that I yearn.

I know you have another

And I'm jealous as hell.

But it's my fault from your grace I fell.

I've been watching -- waiting -- debating

Should I tell you that your new lover is untrue?

I don't wish to complicate your life.

To bring you more heartache and strife.

No -- I won't tell.

Why should you believe what I say?

I cheated -- I lied -- I treated you the same way.

But I will let you know that I'm around.

And if you should need a shoulder

I'm only across town.

I've got to believe that one day you will trust my heart.

Come around my way -- let me help you make a new start.

A second chance is all I need

To prove I'm now a flower and no longer a weed.

Your heart I will tend, sooth, mend

And baby, I promise to never break again.

But for you -- I will always bend.

NOTE: I don't know where this came from. Maybe it was seeing an ex-GF after many years. The first time, I wouldn't even talk to her. And the second time, we embraced but only briefly. Maybe I wanted her to say some of those things to me.
