I’ll take the gamble,

Even with the slim chances,

For my heart will always beat

With the revelation_ I love you_…

Now it’s time I tell what’s true.

I’ll take the gamble

For I cannot stop the nightmares

Of the lost time

If I never say the words—

They need to be heard.

I’ll take the gamble,

I tell myself true

As I walk through the gates

Of our unchanging fate—

“I love you,” I say.

“I do not,” you betray.

I’ll never take a gamble.
