Take a Chance

Sunlight beats down on my face
I close my eyes
My head falls back
And I let the warmth embrace my skin
I dream of your eyes
You smiling at me
The music you bring to my soul
And I think of how I can show you
That so many things that hold you back
Are easily surmountable barriers
Seen only when looked for
Found only when sought
But easily stepped over
Looked past by those who can
You might need to step a little out of bounds
To get where you want to be
But somehow it all ends up alright
The barriers will drop
The pretenses will fall
And you might take a chance on me.
