The first time I saw you? That would be six years ago. Then what did we do? Nothing was what I remembered. I just stared at you but you didn't stare back. Your dark eyes were wandering off to a distant place unreachable for anyone, especially me.
That was the memory I had of our first meeting. After that first meeting, nothing was sweet anymore. True; our first meeting should be called "from-the-perspective-of-one-person-meeting" because it was all me looking at you. I didn't think you saw me at all.
Every time I closed my eyes, the memory of that night flashed right in front of me, as if it happened now instead of six miserable, yet sweet years ago. The breeze of the sea, the moonlight's reflection reflected clearly on the water, and you. It was the first day of summer but the spring's wind was still around. I remembered still smelling the scent of Sakura. Funny, that was my name.
We were now fifteen.
I would love to say 'Father' to the wall standing tall between us. But it wasn't. The wall standing between us that said "Stay away from Juliet" was called fate. No matter how much you threw rocks, stones, pebbles at the wall to break, it will never break.
Every time you gave up, turned, and started to walk away, I would fell and sat on the stairs of never ending misery calling out to you, begging you "Please don't go."
I would say to you "Romeo, bring me to a place where we can be alone. Then you'll be the Prince and I'll be the Princess. It's a love story; please just say 'yes'."
I'd run around the wall just to meet you and we can just ran away before anyone found out, especially 'Father Fate'. Let's close our eyes and imagine the wings that weren't there, let's escape the town for just a little while and we'll be okay. But the wall standing between us would again said "Stay away from Juliet" but you were everything for me and I'd be begging again for you to stay.
It was impossible.
Even so, let's just imagine we were alone, on our very own world. Where you're not an avenger and I'm not just a medic. Where the world we lived on were not a world inhabited by ninjas. Where you didn't go away and I was never left alone.
So again I would say "Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me to feel. This love hurts, I know; but I don't want to let go. So baby please just say 'yes'."
Years passed before my eyes and I got tired of waiting for you that never come. My faith for you was fading away even though I wanted it to stay. And then fate decided differently again: I met you on the outskirts of town and I said to you:
"Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone. I waited for you for so long but you never come, has our love story come to an end?"
And then you gave me a sad, pained look and I knew that this was the end. The big fat wall standing tall between us was called fate and it kept on telling "Stay away from Juliet" and I'd fell on the stairs of never ending misery and begging you: "Please don't go."
It was too late now because you were long gone. 'Father Fate' did his job and the wall stayed put.
I didn't have to wait anymore. My faith for you was gone as 'Father Fate' shut the door right on your face. They're trying to tell me to feel and I felt.
If only when I last met you, you knelt on the ground and pulled out a ring. Telling me: "Marry me, Juliet. You'll never have to be alone. I love you and that's all that I really know. I talked to 'Father Fate', go pick out your white dress; it's a love story baby just say 'Yes'."
We were both so young when we first met…
