A/N: This is a tribute to one of my all time favourite fics, 'Second Chance' by Captain Traemel, a SS/HG story, although this could apply to any ship.

..o0o..

Why do you insist

On hiding your true feelings

If they will only bring

Fresh sorrow

Onto an already tortured soul?

..o0o..

She loves you

With all her heart

But she doesn't trust easily.

Don't let her

Walk away

Due to your own selfish pride.

..o0o..

Every time you try to

Convince yourself of your

Indifference to her,

You shatter

Her heart

Into tiny little pieces.

..o0o..

She won't stay here forever

Soon she will move on

To someone who

Will tell her

Once in a while

That he loves her.

..o0o..
