ONE CHANCE
A Paul's POV Poem
Why did I fall in love with someone who couldn't love me back?
What is it that Rico Suave has, which I – Paul Slater – lack?
Susannah Simon made me realize that it is possible to love
I sigh, thinking how great it'd be to be alone with her, in our own little romantic cove.
I know she loves him, I know she does, but I can't seem to let go
I would go to any height to gain her love, I would touch any low.
Her striking, cutting emerald eyes, her lovely chestnut hair
Make me forget everything exists, I even forget I'm Paul Slater, I swear.
She rules my dreams, she haunts my thoughts, she rocks my fantasies
Oh dearest Suze, just give me one chance, that is all I ask…please.
I'll show you the top of the universe, I'll give you true happiness
Without you everything's upside-down, my life is in a mess.
That one single kiss we shared in my house, was the best minute of my life
I wish I could make you my girlfriend, my best friend…my wife.
If twenty-four hours go past when you don't say, "Paul Slater, go away."
It'll be the happiest twenty-four hours of my life, you'll have made my day.
I never placed myself at anyone's will before
But for you I'd do anything, I love you from the surface, right down to the very core.
If you gave me your heart, I promise I'd take care of it,
For I've already given you mine, and I loved its every bit.
I gave up my old life for my love of you, and I don't regret that
I don't care what I must endure to get to you, I'll smile throughout, an eyelid I won't bat.
Deep down somewhere inside, I know you can't be mine,
But with all my heart and all my soul, it's you for whom I pine.
