Like the movies

movies make love seem amazing
so where is that for the rest of us?
the moment you yearn for someone
the moment you kiss and fireworks fly
the moment you turn away only turn back
the moment you smile when you hear their voice
the moment you realize you are theirs
as if there was any other choice
why can’t we all be in love like the movies
where, even though there can be struggle,
there’s light at the end of the tunnel
because what’s a love story
if, in the end, the boy doesn’t get the girl?
