I don't believe in romantic love
not anymore
I have lived my life in hope
only to see it crash in despair
just to rise and do it again
I am too old to live on happily ever after dreams
and even those are not usually what they seem
I believe in the love of puppies
or kittens
in familial love or that of friends
Yet, part of me
misses that little bit of glee
when you meet someone
and revel in the possibilities
But I will get over it
I usually do
Still, sometimes it's nice to revel in an old romance
or two
Then, I am back to myself
back to not believing in romantic love ... again
