Risk is a funny thing.
Sometimes it's worth it. When it's not, it hurts.
It terrifies, electrifies...even sort of clarifies.
The thing is, how do you know what could be,
If you can't choose a dream and set passion free?
Love can die and so do dreams.
But if neither are given a chance,
What could it possibly bring?
I know that you're worth it,
Because even if we should fail,
Not trying (by comparison) only pales.
I'd rather say "It didn't work." than simply "I never tried."
Because the way I feel with you is worth the tears we might cry.
So I'll take this risk, not just for you, but so that I can live.
I won't ask a gaurantee. I know your all you'll give.
Let's see what happens. It will all be okay.
Because even if it doesn't settle as I'd like,
At least we made each other smile along the way.
