I Am a Hopeless Romantic
It really is helping to write this out:
Why do I torture myself with thoughts of you?
Can’t I just admit you’ll never feel the same?
How can I go on like this,
as if your opinion of me will change?
You’ve made it clear you don’t want me in your life,
but for some reason I can’t seem to let go.
You’ve cast an enrapturing spell on me,
and I won’t back down until I’ve accomplished my goal.
Why do I attempt what is next to impossible?
Your devotion is a mountain peak I may never reach.
Do I really think my tenacity will pay off?
That if I keep trying,
I’ll eventually obtain what I seek?
Why is it that when you ignore me
it causes my affection to grow even more?
Why do I insist on persistence,
and continue fighting a futile war?
I’ve heard there are other fish in the sea,
but you’re the only one that I see.
You’re the only girl worth my effort.
You captured my heart so effortlessly.
I won’t give up on you,
though you beat my emotions to a pulp.
Give me something to hold on to
while I’m hanging from a thread of hope.
I’m a desperate fool forever stuck,
deeply in love but out of luck.
I’ll wait as long as it takes,
for better or for worse,
regardless of whether my commitment
ends up being a blessing or a curse.
