Amy Winehouse has a song titled “Love Is a Losing game” for some reason I find that song strikes a chord with me…
It does not make me bitter or resentful, however, rather it makes me feel hopeful.
Its a reminder the true love isn’t always about the perfect euphoric feeling one has at the start of a relationship.
Its a reminder that even though things get tough… and when the “i’m 16 and in love again” feeling has long since cooled… there is more to a relationship/love than these fleeting emotions….
It also a reminder that Love really are for those of us who are suckers for punishment… but know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is worth it.
Maybe i am morbid and maybe my views are wrong but I believe love is a losing game… that I will continue to play.
For you I was the flame,
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came,
Love is losing game
One I wish I never played,
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing game
Played out by the band,
Love is a losing hand
MOre than I could stand,
Love is a losing hand
Self professed and profound
Tilter tips were down
Know you’re a gambling man
Love is a loosing hand
Tho’ I battled blind,
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind,
Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds,
And laughed by the Gods
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing game
