Can I Really Take A Chance???

I keep asking myself, "Is this real?"

"Can I trust it enough to let go?"

I've been broken so badly before,

That the cracks and the crevices show.

I'm so SCARED that I shake down inside

When I think what could happen to me.

If I let myself go I could crash

And I wouldn't survive now, you see.

It's taken so long just to mend

And to piece all the fragments in place,

I'm afraid now to love one like you

As I'd probably land on my face.

Could you PLEASE just persuade me a bit?

It wouldn't offend me, I know!

I NEED to be wooed and be won,

To feel wrapped up and tied with a bow.

I crave the attention, kind sir,

And I'll settle for nothing that's less

Than to know in my heart this is real

And to feel deep inside love's caress.

Well, I guess you know how it feels to want, maybe you need to take a hold and hang on. Sometime the one you are hanging on to, will want to hang on as well. Hope you get that flamin type of guy. Oh, is that a perminant name change. If so, happiness forever.

Jess, It's worth taking the chance, No matter how it ends.The pain will in some way equal the joy that could be missed. I don't need to tell you that,You have always known it. Good Luck! Later,Joyce/Spanky
