Someone to care for, someone to hold,
Someone to love, is the dream we are sold,
This fantasy given, less sold, more force fed,
Astute propaganda, it gets right in our head,
A person in life, to make it worthwhile,
Somebody that gives us a reason to smile,
Floral bouquets, love hearts and wine,
A card shop portrayal, it’s certainly not mine,
We all wear the scars of love lost in our past,
We all search for the one with whom it will last,
This image of love to me is a curse,
I’d rather show it by writing a verse,
The Hollywood fantasy of romance it feeds,
But romance is action, romance is deeds,
Love can’t be planned; it comes out of the blue,
It’s the beat of a heart that makes it all true,
Soft music, lit candles, romance portrayed,
But stereotypical, creativity betrayed,
Go with the moment, go with the heart,
Do something different, that sets you apart,
Think outside the box, try something new,
Be unusual, be unique, just simply be you.
