I am the dreamer still naive enough to believe in "happy-ever-after"
Known for many years that happy endings are unlikely and that even the best relationships/friendships come to an end eventually
I am wise enough to realize the difficulty of finding Prince Charming in today's cruel society
Instead of fairytale romance I grew up with we face a world strewn with sexting, online dating, and a myriad of other technology-polluted dating norms
Dick pics are plentiful and chivalry scarce
Hungering for lustful acts of pleasure while I simply thirst for meaningful connection
Gaining not one while those around me ravage conquest after sexual conquest
Rather live a stoic empty life than one full of temporary careless moments forgotten before they are even completed
So I wait to meet my knight
In the barren fields of a loveless plane
Carrying antique values like heavy sandbags
A challenge to bear
But providing necessary balance
