"Stop waiting and be free. Of me- put me deep inside you and then go out in the world and live. Love the world and yourself in it, move through it offers no resistance, as though the world is your natural element." -The Time Traveler's Wife

I thought there was chance in you and I.

But what my heart was so surreal,
my heart couldn't feel the adrenaline I use to have.

You have your right;
I have mine.

You're a part of me,
and I'm not blind.

I know you like other girls.
I know I like other boys.

I know that we like each other,
or I at least like you.

You're not like any guy I ever met.

But I need to admit the truth:
I still have feelings for you.

Give me one last chance,
and I'll be alright.

You can hold my hand
Or say goodbye.

I can only imagine what's going to happen:
You'll be gone and I'll be around...

Still waiting for one last chance.
