romeo, oh romeo
where have thou fled?
are you resentful,
of the words you had said?
meet me in the open field,
promise you'll take my hand,
we can dance all over again,
just as we had planned.
juliet, oh juliet
where have thou gone?
what happened to butterflies,
and happy little songs?
sit by the creek, hear the water run,
forget your father and everyone.
oh romeo, oh juliet,
you're not blind, i know
but the hardest part of love
is learning to let go.
my loves, loosen your grip,
your knuckles are turning white.
stop staying awake
so late into the night.
don't send a letter,
don't you ever speak,
don't ask your other friends
if they've seen the other this week.
you must learn to fall asleep
without each other's touch,
you both got too fucking close,
and gave too fucking much.
