Fuck Love Stories

Fuck love stories
Messy
Sloppy
Awkward

Someone gets hurt
You can't have a love story
If no one gets hurt
You can hope it's not you
But someone's going to hurt
(And causing the hurt isn't much fun either...)

Fuck love stories
Obsession
Desire
Passion

Especially love stories you have to hide
When you love someone
You don't want to hide it
You want to scream it from the rooftops
You want to sing it in song
You want to write awful love poems

Fuck love stories
With their big smiles
And heartfelt laughter
And happiness

Happiness...

Happiness escapes us, we think we're happy
We think: I like this life, I like this situation
But then, one morning...
You realize
You're not happy
You don't like this situation
You don't know happiness
And then you find it...

You find it where you don't expect it
And you realize you've never truly been happy before
You try and will it away
You try and remember what it was like before you found it
But you can't
Once you've found it
You know you must have it
Unless you can deny yourself
Deny yourself happiness
What kind of person does that?
A nice one?
A good one?
A stupid one.
One with their heart in the wrong place
The place your heart should be
Is where your happiness should be
In your hands
Take your life in your hands
Make it what you want
You are the star of your life
Make it what you want

Fuck love stories
With their hope
And light
And laughter
Just plain fuck um.

PS Pretty sure I'm going to dig whatever you're into between the sheets, especially if it involves me...
