Taking Chances

*
This feeling I have I have had it before
It is one that leaves me wanting more
More of something that perhaps is not smart
But I cannot stop these thoughts once they start

This already may be a lesson in the making
This risk I already know I will be taking
This risk I will take for butterflies
Without pausing to ask myself why

I have been waiting for some fun and smiles
And will take it even if only for awhile
I will try to be smart if I can
Creating some cushioning for when I land

But smart can be hard when you don’t stop to think
And certainly hard when you melt at a wink
But I won’t be afraid to take chances anymore
Even at the risk of losing a bit of my heart once more

Because a heart can be bruised
However chance may be few
As smart or as stupid as this idea may be
I am taking this chance on you
