He’s gone
You’ve lost
Stay behind
and count the cost
You try
You lose
You don’t fall in love by chance
You choose
It’s a decision
made over time
Should you take a risk
and start to climb
the steepest hill
only to find
halfway there
you’ve been left behind?
Choosing to love
is risking a lot
and trying to change
and to give all you’ve got
But don’t pretend
it comes out of the blue
You take a chance
and see it through
and if it’s refused
what can you do?
Continue hopefully?
Start anew?
