Love Is A Losing Game

I guess I always came back here whenever I got a broken heart or fell in love. For now, It’s the first one. Yup, my heart is broken. How do you bare the pain when someone you love chooses someone else when you already gave them all of you? I guess I will never be enough.

It actually makes me think that “Love Is A Losing Game”. Each time we know a person, we gamble whether this person is right for us. When we take the risk, it’s like gambling on a bet wishing that person is right. It turns out that when it’s not, you lose.

I lost. I’ve given my all until there’s nothing left for me. I have to pick up the pieces on my own. That person has been falling in love while I’m falling to pieces. Maybe I fell too fast, too deep to be rescued. It’s not fair, but what can I say? These are the consequences I have to take since I was the one who risk it all.

But it’s all okay. Maybe I’ve been gambling on love but everything has a lesson, right? I got stronger, learned lessons, and know my worth. And one of the lessons I learned from my last relationship is “love takes time, I can’t rush things.”

I believe one day these all will be worth the pain. The universe never promises bad things, there will be definitely good things someday. And until that day comes, I’m gonna be here embracing everything and accepting myself. Someday, one day.
