Romance Novels, Movies, TV Series; They have all taught women to believe that love is only real:
If you break up a million times,
If you only fall for each other when the timing is off,
If you cheat with each other while in committed relationships,
If you have problem after problem and can’t seem to get it right;
There’s passion, there’s hot sex, there’s history.
There’s also crying at 3AM, because you’re not good enough,
Sleepless nights and hook-up’s with faceless men just to forget the hurt and the pain.
It can never just be “boy meets girl, they get married and live happily ever after”
God forbid, you’re a grown adult and realize what you have from the get go,
That’s too simple to capture our attention while reading or watching,
So we believe that it’s not “real love” as we’ve been force-fed our entire lives
Don’t fuck it up because you just assume your life is a romance,
And you’ll get the boy/girl in the end. Odds are, you won’t. You lost.
End of that story.
I believe love can be EASY,
Love can be magnificent, love can be boring and comfortable,
Love can be passionate and love can be stable.
Accept it. Live it.
