The Enemies To Lover Masquerade

Why do movies and books always make enemies to lovers look great,

With their captivating tales of passion and fate?

The reality is, it never works that way,

It's either "I hate you, I hate you" or "I love you, I love you," they say.

But there's never a moment of starting with hate,

Just to fall into each other's arms, as is the fate.

It's as if there's always been a lingering feeling,

And from the beginning, we've always been reeling.

But let me tell you, it's not like that at all,

Love doesn't happen with such a convenient call.

From the very beginning, I couldn't have known,

That I was falling for you, with feelings that have grown.

Because what kind of joke would that be?

To suddenly fall for someone, out of the blue sea.

It's either we like each other or we don't,

Why deal with all the bull crap, why won't we just confront?

Yeah, it sells in Hollywood, making producers rich,

It's a story they sell, without a glitch.

Actors and actresses portray this great story,

But let me tell you, it's not like that in real life, my dear.

Falling for someone is a process, it's true,

It takes time and getting to know them too.

Some of us are shy, we hide our emotions,

We may not even realize our own devotion.

But it's not because we're enemies from the start,

Sometimes we just grow apart.

Or maybe we don't truly like the person we meet,

Because in the beginning, we don't know them, our feelings are incomplete.

It's not because we can't like each other, you see,

It's just an irrational feeling, a phase we must be.

There's no such thing as real enemies to lovers,

It's just the underlying factor, the knowing and unknowing that covers.

So let's not be tricked by the movies and books,

Let's not be blinded by their captivating looks.

Love is a journey, a slow and steady ride,

It's not about enemies or lovers, it's about the one by our side.

Let's cherish the process, the ups and the downs,

Let's not rush, let's not wear any crowns.

For in real life, love is not a fairy tale,

It's a story we create, with actions that prevail.

So next time you watch a movie or read a book,

Remember, it's just a story, a fictional hook.

Don't compare it to reality, don't let it deceive,

Because true love takes time, it's something we achieve.

In this world of fiction, let's embrace the truth,

That love is a journey, with moments of youth.

Let's not be swayed, let's follow our own path,

And let our own enemies to lovers story be a sweet aftermath.

So, Hollywood, keep selling your tales so grand,

But let us remember, it's not quite like that, firsthand.

For in real life, love is a process of knowing,

And enemies to lovers is not a story worth showing.
