Now sit back and watch the story unfold
With the fair Juliet and her Romeo

“I had a dream that I was pregnant, and everyone knew but you.”

“Oh yeah, why didn’t I know?” he asked, not really paying attention to the conversation.

“I don’t know, but you were the only one, and you were mad at me the whole dream because I wouldn’t do anything that would harm the baby and you didn’t know what my problem was…” The words came out in a rush, and then trailed off, leaving me unsure and not wanting to finish. Trying to block out reality, all the while knowing this had to end, and certainly couldn’t end well, I started humming.

Two young lovers with one heartbeat...

“I think the real Juliet had it going for her,” I sighed, already sick of his inane dialogue.

“Oh yeah, why is that?”

“Because she and Romeo shared a night, and it didn’t come back to slap them in the face.”

“Good for them,” a light dawned in his eyes, “Wait- you mean-”

“That everyone knows but you.”
