Love is......
Shakespeare famously said that "All the world is a stage". If life were a stage, then, that special someone must be somewhere in there isn't it? She's somewhere in that masquerade. So what happens when u do see that special someone... and she has a partner? Alas... do u just give it all up and move on? Or do u brashly challenge the partner to a duel and winner takes all?
Are those really the only alternatives u have? I feel that there are others: Why can't one get to know that lady better? Talk to her, find out what she's really like. You don't have to go all out to snatch her away. For all you know, by talking to her, you may not like the person behind the mask. Find out her quirks. For all you know, she has chickens under that huge ballgown... And a mask is a mask, is that how she really feels? Is she really happy behind that painted smile?
And remember, the world is a stage. Acts change, characters change. Sometimes, it's just the right time and opportunity. You don't have to wait till it's the final act, where the partner finally leaves her or dies. It's always alright to extend the first dance to her. If she obliges, you're in luck! For it after all takes two to tango. If she doesn't then you back off. You can still ask for a dance at a later time.
Do you wait in the wings? You can, no doubt. But be warned that this may lead to more heartache. So know when the act has ended and move on. There are other masquerades to be at, there are other ladies in waiting.
Taking that first step is like playing poker. The higher the stakes, the more exciting it is. But, are you prepared to lose it all? Luck isn't always on your side and it is a gamble you have to take. If it is something that you have made a bet on, then you have to be prepared to play all the way. No faltering, no giving away your real intentions. Confidence is key. And even if in the end, your opponent knows your cards, and you do lose, fold your cards with a smile. Never let your opponent know that they beat you silly. Leave the table with your head held high. Should you return to the same gambling table with the same opponent, know that it is ok not to gamble. Give a smile, decline the invitation, and wish the opponent good luck. Remember, remember, confidence is key. And move on to other tables to play BlackJack! ;p
