Being a romantic does not get you far,
Maybe as far as the bottom of a Haagen Dazs carton.
Or at least that is where I find myself.
Okay, not quite the bottom,
Apparently one can't even get THAT far.
It is with difficulty not to feel sad, lonely, and depressed.
But this "holiday" is just so good at magnifying said feelings.
Honestly though, I am quite alright,
and have really been enjoying the single life.
It's just days like this when the romantic comes out
and fiddles with my little heart and makes it want things
It can't have and is not all that ready for.
And want things I shouldn't have,
like chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
It was even on sale, how could I say no?
