Mirai E... English version?

Couldn't get Kiroro's Mirai E out of my head, so I started making up English lyrics for it. These lyrics are truer to the Chinese version of the song by Rene Liu, which tells of lost love. One problem though, is that Rene's lyrics are written from a female point-of-view, and directly translating the verses would make it too feminine for me to sing. Any ideas for the verses (you can even rewrite the chorus if you wish)? HINT: Help me complete this song!

This is what I have at the moment...

Second Chance (only the chorus)


Oh I, have fin'lly learned to love
The girl that once was mine
A very long, long time ago
Oh my, through all my tears I've understood
That in love, you don't get a second chance
