Like The Movie

Like The Movies

---

I used to want a love like the movies.

How sweet they looked.

How happy they seemed.
Even when I knew that none of it was real.

I would dream that I could find a love like that.

And when I did.

I didn’t understand what it was.

Not until lately.

Maybe the timing is wrong.
Maybe I keep asking the wrong questions.

Maybe none of this is real.

Maybe it’s all in my head.

I shouldn’t even be writing this.

I remember the last time I had hoped like this.

It didn’t end so well.

But this isn’t the same.

And my best friend knows it too.

Says I’m practically glowing during the times she sees me.

Glowing with happiness..

Imagine that.

It’s stupid.

I feel stupid.

It hasn’t even been that long.

Maybe two or three weeks at most.

But I’m happy.
And I know that’s not just me either.

I think a lot of us fall into the trap of daydreaming of the types of romances we see or read about even when we know it's not usually like that in reality. Sometimes it's just fun to imagine what it would be like if it was like that and everything could just work out perfectly. It's nice to read a happier themed poem about falling in love. I hope it works out the way it seems to be going.
