If I told you I love you,
Would you believe me?
If I told you I need you,
Would you stand by me?
If I told you I seek you,
Would you speak to me?
If only I told you.
If the crappy little poem wasn’t a hint, then let me just say that being single is starting to lose its shine. It’s been well over a year since I was last in relationship. Hell, it’s been nearly a year since I last went on a date. And I’m starting to wonder if there is something wrong with me. I should be out and about, meeting new people, which I enjoy, but recently, I just want to stay home.
To be exact, I want to be able to come home from work and curl up next to that special someone and just read. Haha, sounds kind of lame, but thats all really want at this point. I don’t want to party or go to fancy dinners. I just want some quiet cuddling with him and my book.
Just one problem. I’m missing Prince Charming. No, I take it back. I don’t want Prince Charming. I want my very own Gilbert Blythe (Anne of Green Gables) or Peeta Mellark (Hunger Games). I might even be willing to tolerate a Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice). And the list of fictional boyfriends could go on forever. But I just want the one, the real one. Is that too much to ask for? Don’t answer that.
I really should be making an effort, I guess, but by the time I get off work, I just want to sleep. And my weekends are dedicated to staying in touch with friends. Leaving no time to date. I know, excuses, excuses. But perhaps km not so eager because I haven’t met the right guy yet? Or perhaps I’m just blind and deaf. Bah. This is why I don’t read romance. I’m happy with my sci-fi/fantasy adventures and the classics, of course. Or so I keep telling myself. Yet I’m always drawn to the happily ever afters.
Anyone else feeling a little lonely? Or perhaps you’ve already found that someone special?

this past year is the first year where i can see the gift of singleness and i’m learning how to enjoy it after being single for… forever. life is good and there’s so many opportunities as a single that we won’t have once that significant other comes into the picture. i’m planning on taking advantage of this time and have fun with it =)
