On NOT Being A Hopeless Romantic: Romantic Email Sonnet

One should never be
in that hopeless romantic hypocrisy.
For, if there is no hope in store,
then what is romance even for?

Those who are hopeless in romance
are folks who won’t even try to dance.
They’ll just lean back ‘gainst the wall
and watch everyone else have a ball.

But, as for me and my romantic heart,
I’m a hopeFUL romantic. That’s where I start.
I believe that something incredible can be.
I’m hopeful that’s where love will take me.

Being a romantic means believe! Take the chance!
Have hope FOR that life-altering, romantic dance.
