• Single girl

  i feel lonely during love stories, romantic movies, love songs, and PDA in the mall.

  i feel lonely when i hear a girl laugh and grin back at her boy

  or when i see him look at her when she doesn’t notice.

  i feel lonely when i think about my past relationship

  or when i feel old and like all the good guys got taken.

  i feel lonely when i see Anna and Donovan all mushy

  or when everyone else has a date.

  i feel lonely when someone else is bragging over their significant other

  or when older relatives/friends ask “So you got you a man yet?”

  i feel lonley after a long spell of not being social

  or when i dress up nice and no one notices.

  i feel lonely when i try to plan a guy into my future

  and he’d better show up by a deadline.

  but

  i am so happy to be single when i see a guy look over the shoulder of his girl

  to catch the eye of the girl behind them.

  I am so happy to be single when i overhear couples arguing about finances, emotions,

  or whatever of a million problems that show up in a relationship.

  i am so happy to be single when a friend complains to me about her boy

  or i plan my week and take off time just for me and no one else.

  i am so happy to be single when i can travel and feel free to leave the country

  or when there are just SO MANY amazing guys.

  i am so happy to be single when a girl tells me of her three current crushes–

  besides her current boyfriend.

  i am so happy to be single when i realize i really don’t know myself well

  and i need to get my ducks in a better row.

  i am so happy to be single when i just don’t feel social

  or when i have a zit on my face and don’t want to go anywhere.

  *

  i haven’t decided which list is longer.
