Taking A Chance

LOVE

It is an enormous risk to make yourself vulnerable to another person.
You may have faced these risks of hurt or rejection when you asked someone to have lunch or dinner with you, dressed up for a date (possibly giving away how excited you are about the person), said "I love you" for the first time to someone, or made the first move with a kiss or a touch.
Did you take the chance? Did you roll the dice?

©Taking A Chance

Rolling the dice in any relationship is taking a chance;

But, doesn’t love always come conditionally?

With expectations?

With disappointments?

With you losing your heart

Or losing your mind?

With misery and mockery?

With endurance before isolation?

With objections before rejections?

The worst odds could be better

Than anything you might imagine.

Love comes with a price.

Mostly you pay... then again,

It’s a game you know you will play,

You know you are going to try,

So go all the way; you just might win.

There’s no other feeling like it;

It will be the ride of your life.

You will fly with the gods

Or you’ll go down in flames.

C'mon; roll the dice. Take a chance.
