The pRoBLeM With a romantic

A romantic is moved
but is a bit removed
a romantic is loving
but is often longing
a romantic pursues
but often peruses

A romantic likes happy endings
but doesn't like them, depending...
a romantic like things close at hand
but becomes distant at the wave of a wand

Cynicism, (the romantic's alterego)
may take the throne
but then is soon overthrown
the romantic blooms again
but a bit overblown
and shrinks back to earth
and is once again alone

The seeds are always there
and the cycle continues
with blindness to the past
and unrestrained hopefulness
about a future much less hopeless
