Childhood Love Poem by Lade Kolawole

Love...
in the movies they make love seem...
Magical, no wrongs, overcomes everything,
And most importantly easy!

I guess they do it in hope to change the perspective of love
But sadly for us...
Love isn't like the movies
Their are barely any fairytale endings

Divorce happens, affairs affect us
It seems like we don't believe anymore...
In true love, fairytales, or Mr. Perfect

I wish I could hack into my childhood imagination
Could it make us see love a different way?
Will true love finally exist?

Or is love just not true...
