The truth is
I'm scared it'll never work
that true love will never find me
and it will
just stay a mystery
until one day i finally realize
it never existed to begin with
that love is just a fairytale
you share with the little ones
A soft imagination used
to keep them happy and innocent
but the world
is starting to become non believers
so tell me is this whole thing still a coincidence
or is it us who are at fault?
Are we the deceivers?
The reason love never works out
or matter of fact
is it just me
incapable of loving someone
who is actually meant to be
because I'm too focused on keeping
my feelings intact
or am I too busy expressing my love
to someone who
thinks I'm just an act
I fantasize of love like the movies
where i never have to ask
for affection or reassurance
because it comes naturally
and they don't treat it like a duty
to fall for someone
like me
Who treats me like i mean everything
but at the same time
they aren't just
love bombing me
but looking at my experiences
teen romance seems so fictional
and the love i want so much
to stay believing in
remains conditional
one sided
inconsistent
so the love I'm waiting for
seems non-traditional
I feel like a child wishing on a star
because love in this generation
to everyone seems like
a very low bar
but still in my eyes
the bare minimum
only gets you so far
