Hopeless Romantic

I have a secret that is gigantic
That I am a hopeless romantic

I believe in true romantic love
But know it is hard to get hold of

There are billions of people I see
Yet only one that is right for me

I am very jealous of couples who dance
Because I have never had the same chance

I would like a partner but I haven’t tried
On every Valentine’s Day I have cried

I know most people would not understand
That being alone is not what I planned

I am transgender, asexual, and complex
I want the love but do not want the sex

I want someone who also wants me
Who does not care if I am a he or a she

The odds are against me and alone I will die
But these feelings I have I cannot deny

True love accepts someone even in their mess
And doesn’t resign the love game of Chess

In 37 years, I have never even had a date
But I hope to someday find my check mate
