Juliet
Our love isn't illicit
Or secret
Your parents and mine
Are friends
Is that okay?
I love a good story
With a happy ending
But right now
I just want you in my arms
Our own problems
Less dramatic
You and I
Will not be on a TV screen
Or a magazine
But a photo album
Smiling at each other
Is that okay?
I hope so
Because outside of all this fuss
I just want you
For you
For your smile and your laugh
Your quirks
And inconsistencies.

I love a good story

Will not be on a TV screen
Or a magazine
But a photo album
Smiling at each other
Is that okay?
I hope so
Because outside of all this fuss
I just want you
For you
For your smile and your laugh
Your quirks
And inconsistencies.
