Another Leap of Faith

Last night there was a look in your eyes that I hadn't seen in weeks

You were looking at me like you actually cared again

Rubbing my knee in comfort and resting your head on my shoulder

Letting me know how sorry you were

 

We had a great time as a couple

Complimented each other well

Everyone wanted to be around us

But we wore each other out

You were overwhelmed with passion

And when you came to

You realized you weren't where you wanted to be

 

My thoughts had been drifting around the same time as yours

What would it be like to be single again?

Am I really in love?

I was just as afraid

Just as skeptical

Now you understand why I'm such a pessimist

Because the men I fall for lead me in the same pattern every time

 

I can't handle anymore of these one month and two month relationships!

This felt like one that was going somewhere

Felt like it was going to last a long time

You have every right to be afraid

To push me away

Love is not easy

 

You were so saticefied with me

So comfortable with me

And now that we are sitting here ending the romance

I feel like I've been lied to

You went back on everything you ever said to me

It had meaning at the time

But now the words are just dust

 

So here we sit trying to re-kindle the friendship

Not knowing what to expect

Where it will go later

We are taking each others hand

And taking another leap of faith
