Love Songs

Love songs

I hate hearing love songs
When I’m not in love
I know
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
With my track record
I am ready to throw in the towel
Surrender
Surrender to all the disappointments
surrender
Surrender to breaking hearts
I mean 
I did give it a shot
Love
I gave it a few chances
I have stepped out of my comfort zone
To love unselfishly
But that didn’t work
I tried to love selfishly 
That didn’t work either
I do 
I really do understand 
The ups and downs of relationships
Such as life 
PERIOD
I am tired of hearing all those love songs 
When I am not in love
Oh he looked into my eyes
and there were no lies
Or
Your love is all I need
You give good love
Love
Ugh!
As time moves on
Age grows
Who knows
If I will ever find that someone
That special one
To bond with
To grow old with
Resting my head on love one chest
Listening at their heart beat
Holding hands
Laughing
Talking
Cuddling
Embracing
Yeah
Yeah 
But as of now
I hate hearing love songs
When I’m not in love
