Monologue from the point of view of Romeo

by tarazz

I wrote this as an piece of homework for school and I think its probably the best thing I've written for ages. And yes, the last bit is adapted from what you think it's adapted from.

Romeo and Juliet- Monologue from the point of view of

Romeo. Kind of during the wedding scene.

Tara Codling, 9RO.

All I can think about is her. All I want to think about is her. There is no one else in the world I would rather be with.

All I want is to go back to last night, go back to her balcony and be looking at her face. Her beauty outshone the beauty of anyone else at the party, anyone else I have ever seen before. And that beauty and grace shall be forever mine, through marriage.

Yes, I only met her last night. Yes, I barely know her. Yes, I know she is a Capulet, but there is something about her, something magnetic that I can't explain and all I want is eternity with her.

An eternity to look at her, to talk to her, to be with her. Forever to unravel her, to find out her secrets, to know what makes her yell and what makes her laugh until tears stream down her face. I want forever to love her and hold her and to make her feel perfect and beautiful and to keep her away from the things that hurt her.

I know there are people who say these things don't happen, And there are people who forget what it's like to be in love when they're not. And one day, maybe this will be a story, all our paintings will become ancient treasures. Everyone will move on, have children, die and the story will repeat itself.

But right now, this is not a story. This is happening. And I am at the altar, looking at her, and she is SO beautiful. And I can see it. A future. A forever for me and her. The magnetism, the love, enemies, brought together by simple words.

I do, Juliet. I do.
