Ace O' Hearts

So what do I say?
What is there to tell you that
You don't know
Already?
You have the deepest respect for
Love
That I've ever seen...
And it makes me wish I'd seen
You first...
I liked you from that first moment
I knew right away that we were
Right
As friends...
Or more...
And oh, but I wanted that "more"...

And maybe it's fate
Or just my luck
But I met you both
And liked you both
And couldn't make up my mind...
So I let the chips fall as they may
I let the game play itself out
And this is how the wheel turned
This is what we've been dealt
This is the chamber aimed at our heads
And, bullet or no, we'll have to go on
We'll have to play the game until
It's finished
But...

If some strange twist eliminates the other players
And leaves only us...
The strangest players in the game
You've been playing forever
Different names, different faces, but the same hand
I play more than one hand at a time...
Then don't you forget...
I'm not here to win;
I'm here to play
And you've still got that extra ace I slipped you
And, you know, in this game...
Ace of hearts wins...
Every time.
