Romeo and Juliet

I look back to the days,
i could've swore you were the one,
but there i sat; broken and confused.

you said you loved me,
you said i was the only one,
'the birds wont sing and the sun won't rise if you don't smile,' you told me.
you said it'd kill you to lie to me,
so how come you're not dead?

you broke what was left of me that day,
silently pushed me to the edge,
but just as i was about to jump, he caught my arm.

he saved me from the pain you inflicted on me that day.

he promised he was different, just as you had,
how foolishly i had trusted him.
with the last bit of trust i had,
i handed him my heart,
he grasped it carefully at first; promising never to break it.

again, i was broken and lost.

i was so 'in love' with him,
i lost sight of what was real and what he did,
but then, i found the true one.

the one who became my friend,
the one who caught me when i fell.

he taught me how to trust again,
he showed me it was okay to fall,
because no matter what, he'd catch me.

we are the real life Romeo and Juliet,
our age tells us we can't be,
but we don't care.

three months later, things are different...

distance separates us,
in my dreams i reach for you,
only to wake up to reality.

you began to slowly push me away,
towards someone closer,
not understanding how i only want you.

so here i sit,
confused and emotionless,
trying to figure us out.

do you want me to be with someone else?

there is no one else; i only want you,
but do you only want me?

i wait for you to tell me to leave,
but you don't,
you say nothing at all,
leaving me standing here in this mess.

I cry out for you,
Romeo,
where are you?
