What if we changed Mr Right to Mr Maybe

Then instead of asking if he’s Mr Right

We could ask if maybe he’s Mr Right for now

To teach what he can and then to move on

And we’ll learn not to pine after he’s gone

But realize that he was Mr Right but only for a time

And in his own little way he helped us to shine.

We can learn to grow brighter with each Mr Maybe

And one day we will see that each Mr Maybe

Was actually Mr Right . but only for now.

Or maybe we’ll recycle

Learn to value now what we didn’t back then

Love is about learning as the gambler has told

Learning when to hold and when to fold

And while life is like gambling it’s also true

That life goes on when the gambling is through.

We’re always dealt another hand

We always have a reserve stash

One more bid to make

One more hand to try

And it goes on like that until we die.

Or maybe even longer depending on belief

Maybe we get to do it over. wouldn’t that be a relief

To know it’s all a game after all

And if we don’t like the outcome we can ask for a recall.
