Romance isn't dead

Aa Harvey



Romance isn’t dead

 

 

Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away,

There lived a young boy, smiling his way through all the pain.

He knew one day that love would shine upon him;

The people saw him suffer, but always with a grin.

 

 

Just one boy and just one girl;

An intimate, forgiving, unquestionable religion.

Love, life, death.

Romantic ‘til the end.

Happy being sad;

Confusing to his friends.

 

 

Faithless romantic, infamously sad;

Faithless romantic, infinitely sad.

Faithless romantic, the only thing I’ve ever had.

Infamously, infinitely, romantic ‘til the death.

 

 

She broke my heart; you won’t see me smile.

The tears you see me crying, were her tears for a while.

 

 

Complete devotion, will let you down,

Because love steals your senses

And you crash to the ground.

 

 

Faithless romantic, infamously sad;

Faithless romantic, infinitely sad.

Faithless romantic, the only thing I’ve ever had.

Infamously, infinitely, romantic ‘til the death.

 

 

Some day soon, she’ll walk back through that door,

But my heart will still beat for her

And someone else will have her love.

 

 

Just one day, is all I had,

To show her all I could be, we could be;

We could last right through our deaths.

 

 

Faithless romantic, infamously sad;

Faithless romantic, infinitely sad.

Faithless romantic, the only thing I’ve ever had;

Infamously, infinitely, romantic ‘til the death.

    brilliant piece of writing Harvey , i cannot help but love the repetition in this . and i especially love this line
    ''Complete devotion, will let you down,
    Because love steals your senses
    And you crash to the ground.'' a strong expression of how love can hurt us .

    i feel so sorry for the young boy who is hurting , and in pain..

      Thank you. He is still hurting and still searching for love, but he still has faith in love and one day...some way...he will find her...

      (Please call me Aa. I hope we are friends by now...you have seen enough of my soul to know whether you like me or not...and I already like you.)

      "I take pride as the king of illiterature.
      I'm very ape and very nice.

      If you ever need anything please don't,
      Hesitate to ask someone else first.
      I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive,
      I've seen it all;
      I was here first.

      Out of the ground!
      Into the sky!
      Out of the sky!
      Into the dirt!"


      Very Ape - Nirvana
