DEAR ROMEO,
It's nights like these that I hope you know I would die for you. Under loves heavy burden I do not sink; I rise above and I make sure you are right there with me. For even when you are not strong, I will be your strength.
DEAR ROMEO,
I feel it in my bones that we are star-crossed lovers. The stars are my friends and they whisper secrets to me as I dream. They've told me we are bounded by fate. I whisper back to them every thought I've ever had of you, and they smile at the adoring look on my sleep-filled face.
DEAR ROMEO,
I fall even more in love with you as the days go on. I fall in love with the way you speak of your passions. I fall in love with the way you charmed your way into my mother's heart. I fall in love with the way you look at me through the dim light.
DEAR ROMEO,
If I'm the princess then doesn't that make you the prince? We live in a world where we're not meant to last, but as far as I am concerned the only thing that can come between us is death, and even then I'd follow you there too.
DEAR ROMEO,
You tell me you love me even though you say you don't know what it means. Well here it is: love is a need. It's a craving and it's a sacrifice. It's unconditional and it knows no boundaries. It's lovers and best friends and kind strangers. It can only be found when you stop looking for it. I see this look in your eyes and it's light blinds me while I hold your heart.
DEAR ROMEO,
Even though you're just a boy I'm always comparing you to a God. Maybe it's because of your compassion or your ability to love. Maybe it's your kindness or your ability to lead. Maybe it's just me.
DEAR ROMEO,
Please just stay.
