Second Chance Poem by Raimi Babatunde

I lost you when I replaced you
When you stopped being my priority
I already lost you without knowing
I spent years in school learning processes
Burning midnight candles
Yes, I earned a degree
But I lost the one who mattered most. You.

I wanted a foundation of friendship
But built this on a faulty foundation
You wanted to count on me
But I was lost in fantasy
Until I lost you...

I was hot, yet cold
My inconsistencies were evident
Yet still, you absorbed them
I took your love for granted
Little did I know that
When a woman walks away
She never returns...

Far more than your looks
You've got a great character
I knew not what I had
Until you said it was over
Then scales fell off
Where do I go from here?
If only i can get a second chance

I was too clingy, yet flirty
I wasn't too sure of us
Yet when you faded away
I knew it was you
Why does it have to always be like this?
How can I be happy with another
When I am not happy with myself
If only wishes were Horses...

If you find the one
Who completes you
That one who perfects your imperfections
Please don't let her go

I made mistakes I can't correct
I checked if you were cheating
Before checking if you were happy
I forgot that a happy woman can't cheat
If I get a second chance
I will love you till fade
And never again will I let you go
Into a journey into the unknown
Lest I be a fool forever
