If there's even
        a  slight  chance  at  getting
                 something or that
          someone that will make you
                  happy, risk it.
              Life  is  too  short  and
                happines­s too rare.

                   Sometimes you
            have to stop being scared
                 and just go for it.
              Either it will work out,
                        or  it  won't.
                         That's life.
                   Everything's a risk.
                         Not doing
                   anything  is  a  risk.
                        It's up to you.

               I   smile   a  little  bit  more
                    after talking to her
                          and I think
                 that's  what  made  me  
                       realize I was in
          love with her and without even
                      trying  she  makes
                 my life better and she is
                         the light finally
                            leading me
                                 home
                                 to her,  
                     for she is my home.
