Love: the triple layouts

If there are always two sides to a coin, then in love there are always three possibilities... yes, yes, like in a game, like with cards. There's also chance and hundreds of thousands of coincidences. You can get lucky even when you have 2♣️9♦️ on your hands. You love by drowning, and the other accepts, allows or, extremely sneakily, takes advantage of you.

You see a smile, even if it's on a frowning face. You grin in a kindly way at the chugging and frequent word-parasites. Being there for you everywhere and always, canceling your appointments and breaking plans. You forget about the words "no" and "can't"... only "where" and "how long". Really? Do you love?

Do you know that people may not come back?
⠀
With all your will in your fist, let you go?
And wake up one morning with thoughts, but not of you.
And no more waiting for you and no more sadness for you.
⠀
Do you know that people may not come back?
Can't bear to break my world, can't forgive you?
And tearfully lock 100 keys away from you.
And realizing there's no strength to forget you forever.
⠀
Think about the fact that people might not come back.
And may not write, may not worry, may not call.....
And you will never, ever touch them again.
Think about it, who else could love you as much?

A new surprise, breakfast in the morning and hundreds of e-mails during the day with words of love and frank thoughts about desires. Only you... just pleasant from what and a smile on your face, even if sincere, but no more. Do you really let me?

She calls, texts and picks you up from work. You spend the evening together, going for walks and rarely a cafe. He/she tells jokes and knows about your tastes in food. There is understanding, but there is no suffering when he/she is not there, you are not with him/her. There are no quarrels, no room for yelling... scandals? Please... everything is fine. Oh God... it's fine, what more do you need?

What do you call it if neither side of the coin fits this "spread"? What's in front of you in the river on the table? No, you know it doesn't matter at all. All that matters is what you have in your hand... Not even his/her hand, but it is your hand that plays the main role. All-in?
