Chances

..to the one that got away

By LaTonya StaplesPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Sometimes I wish we could’ve rolled the dice. Took back things we said. Better yet live our life together twice.

You got to know the love I had for you was real. That’s why I don’t know why I let myself take that kind of deal.

Raw. Broke down. Super secure. I just felt like with you I was so sure. I don’t think I’ve ever came in contact with a soul so pure.

It’s your confidence, your smile and the ways you looked at me. I can’t believe I’m talking past tense like we wasn’t meant to be.

All I’m saying is I’m willing to do it. Roll the dice. Take a big chance. I’m just saying I’d give anything to just hold your hand.

Im just saying. It’s worth a chance.
