Romeo

Time to look back
The garden next to the rosebush
When it was just you and me
Juliet and Romeo
Looking at the sky and drinking
From the Rosé bottle
And you smoking unknowingly

There was someone else
Inside you listening to me
Sing and ramble
About the plans I never fulfilled
But fulfilled by being here
With your guts and my faith
Who was going to stop us?

And we skipped the altar
Love to spare, why sign?
The old night watchman as witness
Of our bedroom-house
Autumn came and with it
The most beautiful thing I could see
A familiar look

Welcome to this home
I waited for you my whole life
And now I'll live for you
Let the sky fall or the Sun shine
I'll be here, ready for anything
If you're already my purpose
I'll be my best version

Alarm clock ringing
I only ask God
For strength to be
A good man
If work makes the man
While my back breaks
I'll just keep going
That's my duty

And on the way home
Without a glimmer of hope
I saw that rosebush withered
The one we used to water
They had to cut it down
It had to be cut down

Years went by, more than ten
I wish I could ask you
What would you say today to that woman
Only 26 years old
In love to death
With big dreams to fulfill
Risk everything and stay
Or run away for good

I searched for you my whole life
And look, I messed it up
It wasn't the job, nor my mistake
Life got in my way
It was me who didn't even realize
When Romeo died

It was me who didn't even realize
When Romeo died
Today I just ask for forgiveness
Because Romeo died
