The Gamble of Love

I cut down on love to sound more intelligent. I cut some slack here and there to sound more rational and logical and not too sentimental. I try to act as if I don't wear my heart on my sleeves. I try to act as if I'm not a sentimental bitch. I try to save my love like you save money for a big trip you're excited for. I try not to spend all my love on the wrong person. I try to save my love for the right person as if I'm going to run out of it. I wish I could freeze my love for the right person. I wish I could put my love in a bank and cash it out when I know the time is right. But unlike money, the love saved is just the love lost. 

But, who the fuck am I kidding, right? There is no way to know who is the right person or when is the right time. 

Love is the biggest gamble we know of and the only way through is to bet it all.
