Hopeless Romantic (Poem)

Becca Baker, Writer • November 19, 2025
Sabrina Teeters
Dreaming about fairytales is better than a sad reality.

In a generation of situationships and what-ifs
I’m a hopeless romantic.

Laugh if you want—
Call it naive or cliché,
But I’d rather risk heartbreak
Than be someone’s “maybe someday.”

I know it’s foolish,
And probably out of reach.
I still believe in forever
And fairytale dreams.

Waiting for a love to come—
Certain and true,
Is better than settling
For a “well, I guess you’ll do.”
