" THE FAIRY TALE OF YOU AND ME (JULIET) "

The Fairy Tale of You and Me

BY JZNG

“You know that love is just a troubling constant struggle to be together, forever … will there be any happy endings?”

When I was just a little child, I always dream to be the one they call “My Princess!”

I hate to tell this to some of my friends

They might think that I might be too childish

I just looking up to the dark blue sky

A simple wish that one day can come true

But when I got to know you, “will you be my Romeo?”

Standing at a porch, looking outside

Seeing you for the very first time

My heart beats fast and I really don’t know what to do

Running away from you still led me towards to you

And then I got to know your name

And then you smile for the very first time at me

I think my heart can’t take it anymore

You were a prince and I’m just a pauper

You are so famous and people adore you

Even my best friend is now attracted to you

When will my Cinderella story start?

The day I don’t like began

You and her together

I feel strange

Yet you and my friend are perfect together

“Hey! I wish you two happiness…”

But I really hope that, that was me

I want to bite on a poison apple

And forget all of these memories

I treasure them with all of my heart

Yet I still don’t want to be with you

I don’t want a sad prince and a sad friend

I’m happy to see you two are happy

I don’t want to be a selfish bad wolf

Clumsy me, went outside to be with the howling wind

I suddenly see you outside looking at me like that for the very first time

You said hello to me in a very long time

I’m happy to have a look at you for a moment of time  

She came with a bad look in her face

I think she is really mad at me

She said that I should stay away from him

Or our friendship will end up in a line

And immediately I replied “Yes of course, he is really your Romeo”

A promise was made between two best friends

But my heart was struggling to accept that fact

And I am in a state of confusion

Is that the very right thing to do?

Now I really don’t know what to do

It really felt like I have touched the deadly spindle that was meant for me

And now my heart is sleeping in the darkness somewhere inside me

You and I is just a dream like in children’s fairy tales

You are a respectable prince of the castle and I am just a simple commoner

My friend succeeded to be the missing piece of your life

While I’ll stay here and be a fragment in your memory

“Again I hope you two will smile…”

Time had pass since I heard about the two of you

Rumors have spread that the Prince was looking for his true Cinderella

They said that the girl whom the Prince was with before was the wicked vain queen

Yet I still keep the promise I already made

You came to me in exhaustion

You said in a troubling voice that you are sorry for what she had made to me

And then you said that a magic mirror helped you see through it all

Then you shout: “Will you be my Juliet?”
