Silly Little Fantasies

I have always wondered what it would feel like to have the Romero and Juliet fantasy. Wearing big gowns and having men rush to my doorstep, and bow before me. People admiring me, adoring me, people treating me like a queen. Procrastinating over balls and parties rather than late nights and eye bags falling over my face. 

These days, those sorts of fantasies are non-existent. All men want is a pretty face and an elegant body. A "real man" wants a woman who treats him right and cares for only him. A "real man" wants a lady, a petite girl, a woman who knows her rights, wrongs, and what to do at the right times. A "real man" wants a fake persona. Why should a woman be open about her feelings? Why should she be the one to cook, clean, wash, care and look after...

I am afraid that I will never find that happy fairytale romance. I am scared that I will meet the wrong man one day and I will get treated badly. My whole life revolves around that butterfly feeling you get with your true love. The moment when they step close to your body, their breath is warm on your face. You can feel their strong embrace and know you will be forever safe with this man. They tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, and you giggle in nervousness.

I want the feeling of butterflies in my stomach, the nervous giggle that comes out sounding like a little pre-school girl.

These silly little fantasies are all a figure of my imagination. Though I do think true love is waiting for me somewhere out there, it will never be the love that I desire. What I truly want is the type of romance in rom-com movies, the romance in novels, I even wouldn't mind the type of love elders have for each other.

One day, someday far, far, far away from now, I will meet the love of my life.

Just not yet. 

Omfg.. i could never believe that this book i started in 2020 has 1.4K... I am absolutely stunned. I know most of you probably forgot about this book and don't really read it anymore, but i love publishing my writing. Some short stories a bit more truthy told than others. 

Anyways i hope you have a great day hoes.
