I am not a Romantic

The time has come as it usually does when i have to abide by the wishes of those close to heart and do what they want. This however does not mean i am not doing what i want. The important thing i think, is that i am doing what i am doing for people. For those close to my heart.
I have often kidded myself for a while that above all and sundry, i am a romantic at heart. This is an earnest lie! And everyone who has ever pled that sort of character is guilty of the same lie. There is no such thing as Romanticism. The ideal is as dead as a fish on land (or in the waters of the Niger Delta).
Right from the very conception, it has been a lie and the people who professed it and the people who claimed to live it are liars to the very core and Hell shall claim their bones. The very thought that a man would buy flowers for a girl, not because of some ulterior motive, but simply because it is in his nature to do so is absurd and foolish and false.
Men have always sought out ways to get the girls and they have always succeded...eventually. They did not simply do those stuff because they felt like, but they did because they had to. If they had not acted 'romantic' they would probably never had gotten those girls..even if they were rich!(Ok, not actually..)
This is where the quandry is. I have been ordered by friends of mine to confess as to my 'romanticism' and i have decided to do so. I am not a romentic.
I buy flowers for girls and i write little notes for them. I do the chocolate thing and guess what thwy are saying. I stay with them all night(yup!) and i listen to their talk. I pick 'em up after class and pay the cab fare. I send the little texts and call just to hear her voice. I send the little gifts and remember their favorite stuff. I lie the sweet lies and watch the movies i hate with them. I say you're beautiful, i love you, i can't live without you. I fight for them and dive in front of the bullets and moving trains. I catch the grenades but i don't pull pianoes(i don't play..lol). I act loving and kind, byt i am no romantic.
I do those things simply to make them like me. If u call that romantic, then good for you. Me, i call it style. So therefore, i have confessed. I have done the job. Enough.
