love story

sometimes I wonder if we watched a love story,
or read a love novel in only hopes that soon enough we
would eventually be an author ourselves?

in this world of tricks and trade, can we stand alone and keep
that fairy tale lines and rhymes when everyone around mocks and
spits the corny line and confessions of a hopeless romantic heart?

does borrowing a moment every time an episode airs or
chapter flips really make us forget for a moment,
that loneliness, the longing and the times of waiting?

does it really provide that amount of antidote to carry on
before love actually happens to us?

will we finally be that leading role we so come to envy?

and if it's true that they say,
you can't buy love
can i steal it?
