Hopelessly Romantic

Falling in love can change who we are...

HOPELESSLY ROMANTIC

I've gone from cynical
To comical in my confusion
But now I'm elated
With the merest thought
The slightest hint of you
You gave back the sweetest feeling in the world
The feeling that I am capable of love
The hopeless romantic that I always am
When some new crush's spell has me enchanted
It's a setup on myself, I know
But I'd rather drown in your sea
Than spend another second in the false bliss
That is my undefined loneliness
I have been hurt before, of course
And you could turn out the same
My experience forces me to be a partial realist
But love cannot be real like that in every instance
How hopeless it is, but I can't help thinking
The romantic in me keeps on suggesting
That it really might be different this time
