A Chance

Written 10/16/14 about a guy I had an interest in

I always finish last

Because I never try for first

I take myself out of the race

So someone else can get what they want

I'm tired of giving my heart

So that someone else can win

I've always got the losing start

And I never catch up

I never get it any other time

So why should that change now?

It' snot like I've really got a chance

I should probably just give up

Does he see me differently?

Many things have changed

We're close and he trusts me

His life will never be the same

I want to be there for him

But can I be that one?

Who am I competing against?

Is there even a competition?

Will he see who I can be?

I don't know if I"m enough

It's a situation

And I'm in the thick of it

I just want a chance

All I ask is consideration

I've been there before

And I'll be there again

I'm here now

Do I have a chance to win?

Just think about it

We can barely lose

We're different

Than each other's pasts

Can I fulfill that role?

Can you be what I need

They say age is just a number

And I'm willing to take that risk

Is it worth it?

    I just want a chance
