question: do we lose ourselves in the midst of romanticizing or do we unravel our true selves. response: do we lose who we are in the idealistic view of our romantic quests or do we unveil a trait of ourselves that has been there all along? hiding behind the perfect life you saw yourself having before your heart shattered in little tiny pieces when your utopian view took on another perspective. recognizing yourself in a dark state that was clouded by your 'cherry-kissed' outlook on love, you see who you really are. the good, the bad, and the ugly transformed into the hopeless romantic who has only experienced their first heartbreak to then examine every characteristic of themselves and determine if they were 'in the wrong'. your romantic expectations turning you into someone you're not is the controversial topic. but what if it was just the romanticizing that grounded you and brought you back to reality? what if it was the romanticizing that expressed your honest self? what if it were for all of the childhood fantasies and teenage dreams that helped you realize who you want to be with? what if it were for all of the traumatic experiences and unfulfilled relationships  that helped you realize the person you truly are. -mxy

a hopeless romantic's reflection
We hopeless romantics find true romance in the darkest of rooms where a flickering light illuminates the only face that matters and you'll be able to find your way to the door and come out a brand new person and see the world for the beauty it truly holds even through the tears you had shed.

Hopeless Romantic
You are simply breathtaking You are that perfect morning sunrise That brings new joy and hope You are that moment of complete bliss Where that first sip of coffee touches your soul This beauty in reference is not something That can be enjoyed be mere sight It is an exquisite allure That can not be experienced by the five senses It is a charming appeal in your very essence This charm This exquisite allure This beauty of yours Is in such abundance That it emanates outwards Causing you to have a heavenly glow
