Love Story
I always loved to be alone
To be away from the world and from all the unknown
To live my life with a daily routine
To never see and to never be seen
I always loved to walk by myself
With silence around and no one else
To bother me as I collect my thoughts
No one to tell me what I forgot
I always loved to hear the engine's sounds
As I sat in the driver's seat with no one around
To tell me that I was going too fast
Or that they were scared that I was going to crash
I always loved getting coffee in a small shop
Where I could read my paper from bottom to top
With no one asking for the Living or Lifestyle section
Or to hear another opinion about the upcoming election
I always loved all of these things
But then I met you with your crazy mood swings
With your insane views about the world
I hated when you acted like a little girl
I hated the fact that you always seemed to talk
I couldn't read the paper now without having to stop
Every fifteen minutes to hear your pointless chatter
When I thought I was composed, my thoughts would scatter
I hated not being able to hear the gears shift
As the car picked up speed and then began to drift
You would turn on the radio and begin to sing along
As I thought I’d scream because I despised that song
I hated not being able to walk in the park
Without you by my side while it was chilly and dark
And you’d borrow my coat and have me hold you tight
While I would freeze in the cold of that winter night
I hated the fact that you were never near
When I needed you most and filled with fear
But then you’d come to the rescue and dry my tears
And suddenly my vision would become so clear
I hated it all, even from the first day
How you had broken my loneliness in a beautiful way
I now hate being alone because it seems
I always have loved you, the girl of my dreams
