My Gamble

Darling,

There’s a chance you never see this.


Darling,

There’s a chance that you may reject my advances.


Either way, I lose.


I never saw myself as a gambler.

I never wanted to play with fate.


Yet with you,

I grow bold.

With you,

I’ll take my chances.


I gamble with my heart,

Something irreplaceable.

Yet, I love you-

A new game I never considered.


I love you,

And whatever comes next,

I’ll take that risk.
