romantic

i hate valentine's day:

i used to be a hopeless romantic

and maybe that's why i want to hide

in a corner, staying unnoticed. 

i love valentine's day:

i used to love chocolate box

and now I only see the irony

that I cannot stomach it. 

i don't want you to like me

because I want you to talk to me just to talk to me

not because you want to be together,

so please say you didn't get me that valentine. 

i'm falling for that girl again

the one who continues to hate me,

i want her to know I didn't give her that anonymous note:

things shouldn't be complicated. 

i don't want anything romantic

and I continue to hate this day,

but i'm selfish and only want affection

but i'll push everyone away.
