One More Chance

Tripping and fumbling,

I looked for the way;

Intoxicated by the moonlight,

I stopped by the doorway.

The evening was long,

The night looked promising;

Couldn't think of a song,

My thoughts were tingling. 

I saw him and I paused,

The moment truly deserved applause;

We did not speak much,

Were too far for a handshake or a touch.

Like a seductive Broadway set,

His eyes were too intriguing to forget;

Every look made me feel,

I am sitting by the beach, watching the sunset.

Very momentary, like a fragrant breeze,

The night deceived me;

Incidents were not destined,

As I thought they might be.

A deep desire for one more chance,

Will not let it go;

A game to my conscience,

Will allow romance to set the flow.

So many times, in our lives,

We miss one chance, wish it twice;

We believe in all the lies,

Such is the game of love, lust and disguise.
