i used to think that love was real
that you actually felt something with a person
maybe a spark
or fireworks

but recently I've started to think that its a concept
its a concept society has created
for people who like kissing each other
they think that if someone holds their hand
that they hold their heart too

i think love is dead
buried 6 feet under
right next to the boy who said "i'll never hurt you"
i don't know how i thought that could be true
i guess "hurt" means something different to you

i used to think there was something romantic
about fighting for love
but just because i want you
doesn't mean that i should put myself into a boxing ring
with no training
and let my heart get beat
i can't compete
with her

you win this round

i think that love is like flowers
you pick the one you want
and watch it grow for a while
until it wilts away
and dies in your hand

if love
were real
then so were we

and if we were real
you'd still be with me
