I’ve never been one what would call a “hopeless romantic”.
I am more of a hopeful romantic,
Like, I’m kind of skeptical, but I still hope all the things they say about love could be true.
I’m not a hopeless romantic,
But I still daydream about holding your hand.
I’m not a hopeless romantic,
But when I’m in bed with you, I don’t know if all my dreams have come true, or if I’m just dreaming
But I know I don’t want to wake up
I’m not a hopeless romantic
But I hope one day I find a way to articulate exactly how you make me feel.
I am not a hopeless romantic,
But I want you to know that now that I’ve met you,
I am no longer afraid to lay in the dark.
They say the human brain has as many neurons as there are stars in this galaxy.
I am not a hopeless romantic,
But I would like to lay beneath the open night sky,
So that I can show you how my brain lights up every time I see you smile.
I am not a hopeless romantic
But I am hopeful
Hopeful as in I hope that when a love song comes on, I never stop thinking of you
Hopeful as in I hope one day, I may crystallize what it means to love you
So that I know just how to keep your heart safe.
I am not a hopeless romantic
But I am full of hope.
