English Nine
May 23, 2024
I always hated Romeo and Juliet
Reading it in school was like running the mile in gym
I hated every second of it
Because who would die for love?
It seemed irrational and irelevent
Just words on a page confessing love to imagination
Until i met you.
Two people destined to be opposed
Finding connection in the smallest ways
Like holding hands in the middle of a plane
And little napkin sketches.
It wasnt easy to love you
But i did none the less
Its the best thing i ever did with my life
With you life feels safer
And death feels further away.
I always hated Romeo and Juliet
But that being said,
I would happily die for you.
