Cinderella: Second Chances

Cinderella: Second Chances

A second chance, a second way
To prove myself and show you who I am today.

A second chance, a second life.
Since you've been gone, I've never had to live a lie.
No more hiding, now I'm strong.
I know where I do belong.
It's in these sweet sweet seconds,
The present beckons
Me to live.

A second truth. A second lie.
Despite the pain you've caused you never left my mind.

A second chance, a second glance.
You had a chance to take a chance on me
But you couldn't
Wouldn't
Shouldn't
Choose me.
Because who could've
Should've
Would've
Loved me.

Yet what lucky chance! A second chance.
A second choice; a way of voicing what we hide.
No more caging what we feel.
No more worrying what THEY'll think.
It's in this hope I trust
Even if it should last
For a second.

A second whisper. The second slipper.
Now that hearts fit the silver gown don't even matter.
It's all I wanted
Wished
And wondered
How it feels.
I merely wondered
Wished
And wanted
You to see
Me.

A second moment. The second time
You stand so close to me, your body pressed to mine.
With your lips upon my ears
As you whispered words so dear,
"I love you so"
Then I'll know
This is it.

Just Breathe...

A second chance. A second dance.
An endless waltz of love, I ask for, just this once.
