The Game of Love

Love is all about taking the risks.

Its all about taking chances, taking a chance at someone whom you're not really sure of. It's like jumping out a plane without a parachute and that's when you fall...hard.

It's believing in fate and leaving it all up to luck. It's walking and closing your eyes, praying that somehow your feet will know the way in this blind attempt at love.

It's giving everything up just so you can get what you think will make you happy in the end. And that is where the risk part comes in. Falling in love is hard, staying in it is harder.

Love is all about taking risks, making a pass at chances, grabbing every opportunity that comes your way...or is it?

I don't want to believe that love is a really a game. And as for risks, they can be calculated and managed well. The thing is finding out the right risks to take. Yes sometimes, the world isnt cut out the way we want it to be. And yes, sometimes we fall short of luck and we just have to give up something in order to get what we want. But not when you're already inlove and you would choose to go out of it.

The risk involved in loving is the one you would take to stay in love. Love truly begins when even though there are other people out there more perfect for you, you would chose to stay with the one you love now just because. Love isn't like buying a pair of shoes and eventually throwing it away because a new model came out. It's being satisfied with what you have, wearing your shoes because you have had many walks together and many ass-kicking too.


Love is not trading someone for someone better or new. Love is like a one-time big-time thing, carefully planned out in a spontaneous way. Love is not choosing person first and then making yourself fall for him. It's realizing that you're already inlove even before you know you're falling.


Love is not absolute. There are no bounds. There are (supposedly) no starting line and finish. You just continueloving on and on.
