Another Romeo & Juliet
They felt in love at the first sight.
That's how the romance happened between Romeo and Juliet.
But people like us seldom do that. In fact, more than 90% of us never ran into the feeling like that. We loved someone either because he/she made us feel good, or he/she held absolute power, or, we mistook him/her for someone else.
We just couldn't fall in love with someone at the first sight.
Or, maybe there's a chance for it.
We fell in love with someone at the first sight when we were young and naïve.
My name is Juliet. When I was 19, I was reckless and thought I could have the world.
And that was the year I saw him, and thought I was in love with him at the first sight.
His name was Romeo, a mixer of Chinese and English. I met him at an ice rink. He jumped out of nowhere and asked me for a skate on the ice when the music played "Do you really want to hurt me?"
The light in the rink turn dark. In fact it was my first time went ice skating but I gave him my hand when I was not sure if I could even stand still on the ice.
He smiled at me and said it was ok. He would lead me through the song.
That night, in the rink, he kissed me on the lips. I didn't shy away.
The song was too beautiful and I was so young.
After that, we spent all the winter together, until Christmas.
He called me and told me he couldn't come because his girlfriend Rosaline came and asked him for another chance, after I'd waited him all night.
I could hear the sound of heartbreak.
The next day, he came to the house where I had a room in the attic. He shouted outside without knowing I was out in the snow running like hell.
He was gone when I went back.
I took 30 unknown pills I had. I hoped I would never have to wake up. But I did. And found the sun shone as it did the whole time.
That was the time I realized how undependable the love at the first sight was.
What would happen if Romeo and Juliet survived at the end?
Have you thought of that?
I guess then it would become so ordinary and plain like mine, another kind of sad story.
