history loved those violent delights and tragic lovers. 

when all is said and done,

we were never going to be here again.

the ending was already written 

in our blood, 

tethered by fate. 

yet i know our stories get retold,

rewritten, distorted with time. 

and they’ll forget how we fell in love 

how we tried to overcome all odds.

but i wish to remember us there way we were 

in this story, 

our moment in time,

under the same stars, 

that after everything we were happy

regardless of what we became. 

darling there’s so much i didn’t say, 

so much history took from us.

there was so much we could have become

if only we had the time. 

but that never was going to be our story,

the legacy we left. 

we would always be a star-crossed tragedy,

cursed in the name of love.

history loved those violent delights and tragic lovers. 

there just has to be happier story for us my love

there has to be another life,

another us

                  somewhere.

         a story in which 

we were happy,

                after everything.

         one where your not

          dying in my arms.

and i can’t save you.

there has to to be one,

just that 

               one.

where we live,

                    where 

        we find peace knowing

the war is over.

                           it’s done.

                 and 

we don’t have to fight 

                                   anymore.

          one 

                where 

                          we can live.

there has to be a universe 

                                      where this isn’t 

                                                   the only ending,

                                        we get.

that they’re other stories,

                                    for us

                    out there.

       because we can’t be…

this can’t be…

          we’re not this almost which was

                                            never enough for us,

                                                                     for this story.

       there has to be another.

this can’t be the only end.  

                                           we don’t deserve this my love.

i hope were there in and amongst 

                others stories, 

                                                     happy ones

                           because we lived

                      through too many 

                               tragedies

                       history wont let us forget.

and i can’t lose you again.

                                         i won’t.

      we deserve to be happy, my love.

–  there just has to be happier story for us my love.
