The gift of another try

The clock ticked slow, my heart a drum, Each second felt like years to come. A chance you offered, a second try, Hope bloomed anew, a tear in my eye. Your kindness whispered, a soft refrain, A melody that eased the pain. You saw a flicker, a spark in me, A reason to believe, a chance to be free. I cherish this gift, this second breath, To show you the depths I hold beneath. A heart that's true, a soul that's bold, A love that's yours, a story untold. So thank you, my dear, for this precious grace, To rewrite our tale, to find our place. With every beat, my gratitude grows, For the second chance that love bestows.
