Chances

First and foremost - what a few weeks it's been. Andrew's bachelor party was incredible, and I was lucky enough to run into one of my very close friends from high school who I've fallen out of touch with over college. We went to prom together two years, and she was out on her bachelorette party as well. Small world.

The other part of my weekend was slightly more interesting. I've definitely come to find that I'm interested in a certain someone. My friends tell me how much they like her, but to be cautious because, well let's face it, they know me better than anyone and don't like seeing me unhappy. Regardless of how you perceive what it means when someone tells you, "Hey, I'm interested in you" In this situation, it's simply interested in getting to know her better, but there seems to be a wall there that's almost impossible to break through. I do see glimmers from time to time of her opening up, but I can tell she doesn't like talking about her feelings just as much as I don't.

It took a little bit of a leap for those words to come out of my mouth this weekend. The events that followed don't need to be rehashed, but they left me even more confused as I was before. This girl is completely and utterly complicated, hard to read, and a mystery... and I think that's why I'm so intrigued in wanting to know her for her. A close friend told me I was wasting my time - that things like this don't change, but there's something about her that leaves me wanting to know more of her story.

I'm just hoping for a chance. Even if it's for both of us to let our guards down for 5 minutes, I just want to learn what makes this girl tick.

This song fits me perfectly right now - and it just popped up on my playlist.

"Chances are the fascination

Chances won't escape from me
Chances are only what we make them
And all I need"

Here's to hoping she gives me one.

five for fighting - chances
