love is a gamble
and i think we all know that
but sometimes we forget
that it is
from all the high of feeling
that's no different
from what you get
on a win streak in poker
getting you all hyped up
wanting for more
wanting to triple the stakes
on a game you used to call petty
in my case
i learned that love
has a secret little cheat
in the hard way even
that you can never lose
at its game
if amid the feeling of high
you still know
you're way up there
nestled on a cloud labeled nine
that you descend on the ground
every once in a while
for the grass and bees to remind you
that nothing is promised
so go ahead
for whomever it may be
keep loving
just don't let the grass and bees
miss you that much
