She loves you,
but you haven't noticed.
You've been too caught up
in your own little world,
to notice the girl
that's always been by your side,
trying to show you
just how much she loves you.

She needs a chance;
a chance to see;
to feel;
just how much a person can care.

So why not give her that chance?
Let her in,
let her know you care.

Oh yeah, that's right.
You're with another girl.
But yet here she stands,
right by your side,
trying not to cry;
to let you know how much she cars.

Are you afraid?
Afraid that she'll bring you down?
Afraid of what others will think?
Or are you just too afraid
that you really do
love her?

Why not take the chance?
She could be the one;
the one that shows you
just how much a person can mean.

Why don't you just...
take a chance? Love her?


The author's comments:
I hope people get that love is about taking the chance, and that there are people all around us that love us, no matter what we do to them.

I just had to give it five stars, because of how to true it is.
