Calculated Love Poem by Phil Soar

Is love just a calculated risk?
Based on assumptions
Or based on fact
Realising as we do
Sometimes fate takes a hand
Resulting in flawed solutions
Heated debates
Moments of deep emotion
Truths and lies
Losses and gains
Tears and smiles
Sorrow and pain
Only the individual knows
Through time

Is it worthwhile?
Answers varied
As some take several attempts to get it right
But when they do
It is no risk at all.
