A Second Chance Is All I Need


My dearest love

To you I owe a thousand apologies

I never meant to hurt you

I never meant to break you

A night of fun with someone I didn't know

Has ruined a year of marriage and a lifetime of friendship

If given the chance to change the past

I'd give my life to not make the same mistakes

I went out with a couple of friends

Got drunk off our asses and didn't give a damn

Then this girl came onto me all sexy

And I lost all self-control

Didn't think about you waiting for me back at home

Didn't remember a treasure in my life

Didn't know anything but the girl kissing me

As she looked me in the eyes and said 'let's go'

I had sworn I'd give up my playboy ways

The day I swore to love and cherish you

I had kept true to my vow in cherishing you

But now I realize I broke my vow to me

After the lust had worn off

Guilt had threatened to drown me out

Regret began to break away the drunkenness

And paved the way for pain and fear

I knew you'd leave if you found out

I knew I couldn't lie

When I came home and saw you sitting there

Panic overcame me and I knew you knew

Apologies fell at the tip of my tongue yet never made it out

Excuses and lies were the things you heard

I knew my mistake was fatal

And I knew I lost you that day

Now I'm sitting here in you favorite seat

Staring into the starless night sky

The thought of losing you had devastated me

Yet the fact of you gone permanently kills

If it weren't for that one mistake

You'd still be here

Our little boy would still have a mother

And I, a wife, a friend, a love, and a heart

My dearest love

To you I owe a thousand apologies

Sadly they came too late

And you'd never get to hear them.


AN: This is the sequel to 'Gone'. You must know who this is, if you figured out who was speaking in 'Gone'…
