Why

Romeo and Juliet—

—They did it!

Was it so hard for them to profess their love to each other?

I suppose it was because they died in the end.

But isn't love worth dying for?

Isn't it?

Damn it!

—It should.

Shouldn't it?

I just want to hear you say it,

Those three little words.

I'll know you mean it.

But if you do,

The real trouble will start.

For we will be lovers now.

And,

You can't give your heart to another.

So there we have it.

A conundrum,

Indeed.

I love you,

And, you love me.

Alas our destiny,

Shrouded in misery.

So, don't say it.

I know you love me,

Even though you can't admit it.
