movies, books, the perfect song--real life inspiration
so they say
not sure if i believe
anymore
am i too old for fairy tales?
my head says yes
but my heart wishes on a star
and hopes the answer's no
reality bites, anyway
unrequited, unreturned, one-sided, "we're better off as friends"--
you can't force something that's not there
no matter whose responsible, it feels the same
standing alone during a slow song at a sixth grade dance
not really bitter, not even sad
resigned. accepting.
perhaps that is worse
am i accepting defeat? raising the white flag?
not yet
hopeless romantics never give up
it's against our very nature
a fatal flaw? perhaps.
nightly prayers suffice for now
books, movies, and wedding invitations keep the dream alive
the missing piece is around somewhere
it's just been misplaced
i could find it--hope i will find it--
any day now
