Real Romanticism

María Fernández Trava

"You should try to be more romantic, my dear"

You tell me looking fondly into my eyes, but

What do you mean by that?

Is it always saying the same words?

Is it always moving the same way?

Is it having the same dream as "every woman should have"?

Getting married

Having children

Taking care of them

And that's all?

Well, I'm sorry

If what I search for are true emotions

With their spontaneity and originality

I'm sorry, darling

For not being what You expect me to be

I'm sorry, but

You should try to be more Romantic, my dear.
