flaw fl flfijibgz flyf4gefl,1svL f fhaibbu - Second Chance I saw your tears, I felt your pain The vision of a silhouette is all that remains. Two people in a light that blinded my soul. Together you were and I was left in the cold The thoughts are playing, like riddles in my mind. The question keeps appearing: Just one more time? Why ask - you should have known it would be this way, if not for now, soon. Someday. You lied to me again and again. Excuses for places you should have been. They laugh at me behind my back. I smile, unaware of the knowledge l lack . . . of seeing the truth when we're apart no more tears or pain left, just a brokenheart. -Bernadette Saunder

Renew the ties our angry barbs Have severed needlessly. Perhaps we fear rejection If we even make a try At mending broken fences And eating humble pie. Perhaps we think we've waited Too long to heal the breach And reconciliation is way beyond our reach But once we take that first big step We're pretty apt to see The olive branch we offer is accepted eagerly And the simple words l'm Sorry Will open up the doors To a more enduring friendship Than the one we shared before. ings Robin Smith
