Love Is Like a Board Game

Love is like a board game; 
One where the rules are complex 
There is no right move 
Where to go to next. 

Love is like a board game;
As it goes on you realise
You don't really understand the rules
But try play anyway.

Love is like a board game;
Misinterpreting the other player's thoughts, 
Mistakes are made 
In the desire to win.

Love is like a board game;
If pieces are lost its harder to play. 
Or you can risk it with the remaining ones, 
Knowing it might go wrong. 

Sometimes in the middle of a game 
Playing no longer gives you pleasure 
You stop and accept it's not the same 
Though moving on is no easy measure.
