D is for dice.
I'm not the gambling kind of girl, I told you, but I took a chance nevertheless. And just when I thought I'd hit the jackpot my luck changed. Instead of the hard six on which I bet my heart the die kept right on rolling, changing three pips to four. I thought I knew you and I think maybe I still do, just differently. Of everything you wanted to abandon you abandoned me because I was the only one you could, and not in an instant but over time my stack of chips shrank one by one. I put everything I had on the table and if I knew then what I know now I would have known that fate is not my friend. But it's impossible to know anything when you have no idea which way the dice will fall.
