My True True Love

When people are asked

If their true love is out there

Most would say

Yes! Of course they're out there

When people are asked

What they're doing right now

Most would say

they're singing and laughing

With family and friends

But I imagine my true love

To be hibernating in their room

Endlessly gorging themselves

On Doritos and Nutella

When people are asked

What they're doing right now

Most would say

They're picking flowers

With birds on their shoulders

But i imagine my true love

To be contemplating

Between one more level or a shower

When people are asked

What they're doing right now

Most would say

They're smiling at the neighbors and

Helping the elderly walk across the street

But I imagine my true love

To be crying in their room

After getting their report card

But while most would call me negative

It doesn't matter to me

Because despite my true love's issues

I will probably end up liking them anyways
