I'm officially trying too hard
when even my dreams
try to ruin my day, before
the dreaded event
has even began.

All the possible loves
decided to show up
last night and throw a
slumber party while
talking about me.

I was the main course,
for once, it was nice,
but where is the love now,
if not for only my dreams,
manipulating truth more?

They were all there:
the weak ones,
the strong,
beautiful yet shy,
las hermosas también.

In this struggle to find
happiness and love
I am revisited with hope
of engagements
and finding better times.

Though minute glimpses
do not help settle a heart
that is without counterpoint,
it is time to understand
that patience is the key.
