Romeo and Juliet
I don't like airports
That's where we said goodbye
I loosened my grip around your lips
I turned my back to fly
I stare out the window
At my tomorrow
I see the city below
The clouds and my sorrow
Anyone got a spare
Passport I could borrow?
It's me
And you and me
On the balcony
At Home.
Now a "we"
Just you and me
With an eternity
To roam.
Holding hands
In ecstasy
Like I've never known.
Unfolding plans
Impatiently
On the balcony
Of Home.
You bring home a new girl
Every Christmas Eve
Mom, Dad, I’m in love
And this one won’t leave
I was the fourth
She won't be the last
When she's gone, that slot
Will fill up real fast
Thought I was the one
But I was miscast
It was me
And you and me
On the balcony
At Home.
Once a "we"
Just you and me
Whispers, laughs
And moans.
Holding hands
In ecstasy
Like I've never known.
Creating plans
Hopefully
On the balcony
Of Home.
I was in love once
And I've got the proof
Hundreds of photos
Of me and you
I can touch them
My fingerprints smudge them
At some point in time
You were mine
Life matched the ideal
Irregardless how you now feel
We combined
It’s just me
Daydreaming
Wistfully
At home.
Once a "we"
Just you and me
With an eternity
To roam.
Miming trips
Of ecstasy
To not feel so alone
I’ll see you back
Eventually
On the balcony
Of Home.

This is beautifully sad. I can relate all too much. I found it randomly searching for information on the rhyming schemes in Romeo and Juliet. Hope it finds music and auditory realisation.
