Romeo and Juliet(a modern day story)

by Rebekah   Sep 24, 2006


If you be my Romeo,
I'll be your Juliet.
For I fell in love with you,
The first time our eyes met.

I kept my love a secret,
Not knowing what to do.
I thought I wasn't good enough,
To give my heart to you.

But in the silence of my words,
You clearly understood.
That no one else in this world,
Would love you like I could.

And with that one first kiss,
You set my heart afire.
Ignited by your hands, your lips
Fueled by intense desire.

The future held excitement,
A turn in every road.
We had the sun behind us,
And stars above that glowed.

But then one day it happened,
With just a simple word.
My whole world came crashing down,
A breaking heart was heard.

It was so painful for me,
To live my life that way.
Cause it's so hard to miss someone,
When I see you everyday.

How strong this thing called love can be,
What yearning and longing means.
It made me want to rewind time,
Retreat into vague dreams.

But once again you've found me,
And helped me to my feet.
I gazed into your eyes and knew,
"Without you, I'm incomplete".

The sweet caress of your love,
The warmth of your embrace.
The way you speak so softly,
All doubt has been erased.

I don't care what my parents say,
I never did from the start.
And in every way, shape and form,
You're the keeper of my heart.

So if you be my Romeo,
I'll be your Juliet.
Cause I think this whole thing started,
The first time our eyes met.

Dedicated To Derek Lee Teachworth: 9-23-06
Our 2-month anniversary was the next day,
15 day’s later on 10-09-06(the day after my B-Day),
I broke up with him, cause he was 14 and I was 16.
I gave and gave too him, more than I ever received.
We both teased, but I was the only one to go further.
Making him seem childish, having no clue what to do to a girl
Maybe now, he’ll finally see what that does to a relationship.
Cause even though I love(d) him, and I know he loved me back,
That little factor caused me to fall apart with that feeling of being used.
If only he loved me back physically as much as he did with his heart…
Maybe, just maybe, I could say that my life was perfect
