The Value of Love

I said that it was over, because this game is just too tiring.
You may be worth this pain, but I’m just so through with hiding.
And if my family will never accept us, then why do we try?
But all I say to you is “I need some time”
Because I don’t want to be your Juliet, and I don’t want a Romeo
I don’t want to fall in love so fast and not pay attention
To the fact that we’re more than miles apart
And that the only way this can end is in pain and tears
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be a Juliet
You nod your head and agree with me and ask me never to call
You don’t seem upset, just logical…did you love me at all?
And although this emotionless reaction was the best that I could hope for
It makes me feel empty inside… so empty
You turn to leave and I’m powerless to stop you
My pride and my anger refuse to show your breaking my heart
I always said you never owned it
But when the unspoken words cut this deep
It’s so very hard to hide it
And although this is what I wanted, I can’t help wish for something different
I wish nothing stood in our way, I wish love was a chance I would take
I’ll never smile again when I think of you, and I’ll never wear that necklace
For now I see that I was wrong, that I want to be your Juliet
But my Romeo has moved on…. And he’s not coming back
My stupid heart is reflected in the words I once felt so deeply... 'I'll love you forever'
Now only a mocking memory of my failure to hold on to love once again
Why am I so afraid? Why am I so proud? Isn’t our love worth all the cost?
Isn’t love worth more than life?
