Forget Romance!

Forget romance?

normally i would say not a chance

but i've been holding out so long

starting to think i've been wrong

they'll be no prince on a white horse

maybe i've been following the wrong course

can i live with only my fantasies and dreams

everyone has moved on or so it seems

i've been sleeping all alone

one heart is all i own

i don't want to just give it away

and be another damn cliche

but so many years and no magic kiss

so many years and no wedded bliss

no banjos and bells

no beach with sea shells

I've met so many guys and will probably meet more

will one ever make my heart soar?

I don't want to get married cause its the thing to do

however doing nothing is making me blue

how much longer should i wait

for that elusive soulmate?

i hate to be changing my tune

i was certain as the month of june

that my feelings wouldn't change

but situations rearranged

the bumps of life

have filled me with inner strife

in society we are too few

the status quo is not new

i can't help but feel pressure to give up

i'm a beggar with an empty cup

i want you and now

i want you around like a tree bough

i wanted a boy to make me swoon

maybe it only happens once every blue moon

i cant keep one eye on the sky

hoping to soon sigh

i watched the movies and listened to the songs

waiting to see with who my heart belongs

people think i'm crazy i'm sure

makes me want to pack my bags and get a travel brochure

i can't change my feelings even if i change my location

anymore than i can change my creative vocation

all these years and i'm still in love with my imagination

while flirting with innovation

desiring to go as far as i can go

always felt it was more important than any beau

need someone to help my plans

someone who understands

perhaps that's how i'll know

and my heart bestow

so maybe its less about romance

and more about giving someone a chance.

*Homework be damned i was trying to write a song but this is what i wrote. maybe i'm sleep deprived (a class had me so stressed last night) so maybe i'll wake up tomorrow and delete this. afterall i did write 'i want a romance' and 'sucker for romance.'

good night,
