Ghost of a Chance

Like a million little doorways
All the choices we made
All the stages we passed through
All the roles we played

For so many different directions
Our separate paths might have turned
With every door that we opened
Every bridge that we burned

Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace

I don't believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don't believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state

I don't believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance
we can find someone to love
And make it last...

Like a million little crossroads
Through the back streets of youth
Each time we turn a new corner
A tiny moment of truth

For so many different connections
Our separate paths might have made
With every door that we opened
Every game we played

Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace

I don't believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don't believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state

I don't believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance
we can find someone to love
And make it last...

I do believe in the planets and the stars, but not in an astrological sense, but in an awe-struck, wow, sort of sense. I do believe that loved ones do stay with you after they have died. I do think that there is something mystical and magical about love, as you never know who will light that spark within you. I also know that for many people there is a better than just a ghost of a chance that they will find love. I don't think that there is only one great love. I think that women who don't learn all the wrong lessons in life such as jealousy, sex and love being the same and other huge mistaken beliefs will have amazing love experiences in their lives. Like me. Like others.

I am not "lucky in love"; I work hard to make this a workable, wonderful relationship. It is work, it is a masterpiece in progress. All really worthwhile relationships are just that. It is never a finished painting, but an ongoing project, a morphing and constantly changing mosaic.
