The Fairy Tale of You and Me (Romeo)

The Fairy Tale of You and Me (Romeo)

By JZNG

“Love can never be a decision nor be immediate; it should be love everlasting… Will I ever found the right one?”

Young and ever so playful, the young me dreamt of becoming a knight

A noisy knight yet ever so majestic

Always been respected and honoured

A knight that always be so loyal

And brave to save my princess

Laying outside my house looking to the sparkling dark sky

I noticed you looking at me for the very first time

Let’s pretend I didn’t see that

Yet I became so curious about you

I want to talk to you yet you always turn away

But fate was nice to let me say my name and smile to you

“Will we be great friends?”

I am a knight and you are my princess

A princess who is always so quiet and sad

Yet I notice your beauty behind that frown

We had a lot of fun together

And laughs to go with it

And then I met your friend one afternoon

I was struck by cupid for a very short time

There I started to become fond of her

“Is she the one for me?”

Yet I always missed the days where we had fun

You and her are really distant apart

So I went outside to think

I saw you walking alone towards me

Why my heart is becoming so anxious

I said “Hello!” with a shy face then you smiled at me

“Please keep it like that!”

She came unexpected with a furious look in her face

Why do I think she is mad at you?

She called you to a distant spot

She said she wants to have a talk with you alone

Curious me followed silently

I heard she said that you should stay away from me

And you replied a big yes

You said that I am her Romeo

I was shocked to hear all of that

And I also heard you cry

I thought that love is just a simple decision

To think that the right one was their in front of me

She really cried so heavily

My heart was crushed

I felt so stupid

Cupid failed to do his part

I became a Beast

With a flower that is going to wither soon

Still confused I can’t decide on my own

Is love really this complicated?

I can’t believe I was deceived by a witch

And now the princess is sleeping somewhere in agony

I suddenly see a mirror in front of me

And I see memories the two of us smiling and ever so happy

This is the time the Prince needs to stand up and be a knight for his princess

Like any Prince, we want to get our princesses out from outmost tragedy

I came to you in exhaustion

I said in a troubling voice that I am sorry for what she had made to you

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

Without any regrets, I shout:

“Will you be my Juliet!”
