"I shall forever love you after this,"
I say as we share our last kiss.
Knowing we could never be together in
public and virtually giving up.

I'll see you in the next life.
This I know for sure;
but almost wish it to never happen,
for in the next life
our love is yet another tragedy.

We are stuck in our own story
of 'Romeo and Juliet,'
never to live our happily ever after.

Though we try with all of our hearts
to love each other
when we can,
You'll never get to see me
behind a veil,
walikng beside my father,
as he glares daggers at you saying
"You stole my little girl."

You'll never get to say the words
'I do' in front of everyone
claiming me as yours.
You'll never get to hear me scream
in the hospital room,
as I bring yet another life into this world;
"It's a girl" the doctor would say.

Being in love could be both a
blessing and a curse, I'd like to say
it's the worst blessing
anyone could ever have.
I love every second
I am gifted with your presence,
and hate every minute I am not.

It seems as if Aphrodite herself
frowns upon our being together;
As if she personally picks
certain people to be soul mates,
but never get to live as such.

Life after life our hearts are broken
due to on tragedy or another.

All we could ever do,
when our time together is done,
Is say,  "See you in the next life."
