Life and Love

To be given a second chance

At something so perfect

Is like being revived after drowning.

The first breath, you choke.

By the tenth, you're gulping the air down.

Soon enough, you're feeling well again.

Life isn't the same as before

And you feel yourself being more cautious.

You don't want to die again,

To lose what you just got back.

You know you'll lose it,

But you can't stand the thought.

To be given a second chance

At love

Is like being given a second chance

At life.
