Juliet and Romeo | Prakriti Pujari

Sometimes I wish I was Juliet

Even though she lived a tragic life

Even though her life was cut short

At least she can proudly say,

I died in the arms of my beloved bae.

Many have lived many a year,

Without someone who would shed a tear

In their absence

And yet there is Juliet,

Love of her life she met

at the mere age of twelve.

Some might say it was just an infatuation,

Others will say it might just be ostentation.

And I wouldn't dare correct them,

Because I too believe it to be true.

Don't you think it was possible that,

Romeo might have a side chick or an affair with a pretty brat?

But even before he could do such a crime

He heard heaven's bell chime

As for our Juliet

She thought she met the perfect 'man'

To be with him she made the perfect plan

But instead, they met in paradise

To say their final goodbyes

But to never get my heart broken at all

Just like Juliet

Is all I ever asked for...
