"From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star cross'd lovers take their life, Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents' strife." — Prologue, Romeo and Juliet As teens, they were told you’re too young Time passed and they both were married Another vowed they were among Lovers who stole hearts once buried Time passed and they both were married Like this might mend the wounds within Lovers who stole hearts once buried Bygones could tell of pain that’s been Like this might mend the wounds within Where battles left them so forlorn Bygones could tell of pain that’s been As they stayed in darkness to mourn Where battles left them so forlorn Star-crossed lovers - hear hearts breaking As they stayed in darkness to mourn The feelings felt were earthshaking Star-crossed lovers - hear hearts breaking Another vowed they were among The feelings felt were earthshaking As teens, they were told you’re too young
