romeo's mother always said not to fall in love with a girl like that, cuz a girl like that isn't good for loving, but what are teenage years for if not disappointing your parents and breaking their hearts?

but goddamn, how could he not love her when she looked like she not only put the stars in the sky but had the idea to make them shine in a way that was both nostalgic and unnerving?

and sure, she was in love with a girl with soft skin and soft hair and soft hands and soft lips and soft soft soft everything.

every part of him was too rough to tarnish her edges so it was only natural she fell in love with a girl with a body like aphrodite and a name crafted by poets.

juliet didn't love romeo, contrary to what the stories have said. she admired, respected, cared for the man with a bright smile but her heart did not belong to him.

why would juliet love romeo when she could have rosalind?
