Like a deck of cards, you were the king of hearts

I was the queen who had too many false starts.

We played "three of a Kind" you'd have the royal flush,

Around you I felt shy, You even made me blush.

We played the card game over and over,

You had the royal flush, the four leaf clover.

You had a deuce in your hand,

I had the joker, which is where I'd land.

We played many card games, you were great at poker,

Somehow I always ended up with the joker.

My love for you was immense and so great,

You were good at bluffing, I drew too late.

You kept a "full house" and a deuce,

I was the bloke because I would always lose.

You played every trick in the book at any cost,

I learned you were the best and never lost.

You taught me well, every single challenging day,

Until I finally realized the way to win with you was not to play......
