Mr R's Juliet
I used to think a part of me dies when I contemplate a life without you to share it with,
I used to feel like I was gazing into eyes meant for someone else,
Turning each page was a struggle, knowing you wouldn't be in the next chapter, but the story had to move forward,
They reminded me that I was the book you never cared to read, yet you were the verse I kept highlighting,
Every night passed with the knowledge that I was just a distant star in your sky, while you were my entire universe,
Loving you from afar made me realize that we can only admire and enjoy the sight of a star but never hold it. Yet, it didn't extinguish my love or hope,
All I yearned for was a chance, but every stolen glance made me realize that among trillions of hearts, I fell for the one that didn't beat for me. But even so, it couldn't stop my love,
Each day passed with a pen full of ink and a diary full of empty pages, waiting for you to write about. At least I had hope,
It's surreal how you often appeared in my dreams without a clear face, as if you're the enigmatic Mr. R,
I pledged to care for you until the day you said you found someone better than me,
I refused to let go of your fingertips, just as I refused to have memories of half-remembered dreams,
You can't be the sun, and I can't be the moon; we only shine but never get to be together,
For once, the eclipse has last forever,
Our love, which was once unspoken, now fills the pages of our shared story, a tale of persistence, patience, and the beauty of love that knows no boundaries.
You're the mistake I vowed to repeat repeatedly,
Now, I am your Juliet, Mr. R, and together our love shines eternally.
