Maybe read the Author Note first**

\
I won’t be your Romeo,
in fact I refuse to be.
I’m not what's best for you,
I’m not what's best for me.

//
I refuse to be your princess,
because even I can see
you’re not what's best for you,
you're not what's be for me.

\
You won't end up my Juliette
I don't want you to
I don’t want a perfect girl
You’re just right being you.

//
I don't want a knight in shining armour;
I can wield a sword on my own.
I'm not looking for love,
you're just better than being alone

\
I won’t be your king,

//
I can’t be your queen.

\//
But together...

\                                                    //
You will never be my Romeo.     At least we'll be something.
So this is written with two readers in mine, one male and one female, with the "\\" signalling the males part, and the "//" signalling the females part. Near the end you will see "\\//" - this is meant to be read as both people speaking together. The next line may be confusing, but if you know how to express two people saying different lines over one another at the same time in writing please let me know! Yes, the last line(s) are to be imagined as walking on each other. Thank you.
